Our Trip to the Upper Peninsula

We took a trip the UP in July and had the best time! We hiked around Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, took my first boat ride with Riptide Ride Tours (can’t recommend them enough), hiked at Fayette State Park, checked out Kitch-iti-kipi which is a natural spring, and watched sunsets at our Airbnb. We had the best time! #trip #lemon8challenge #upperpeninsulaofmichigan #naturelovers #couplestrip
