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

What it’s like living in the Upper Peninsula

We get about 270 inches of snow every single year and you just can’t stop doing things because it’s snowing. Especially when you live up north if you do, you won’t be out of your house for like seven months. #Lemon8Diary #upnorthmichigan #snowday #shoppingspree #justthebells10

Lake or Sea???✨🌊🤍

It blows my mind that Lake Superior isn’t considered a sea! She is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area and holds 10% of the worlds fresh water. There are so many spots to see on the Lake. In the United States , Michigan , Wisconsin , and Minnesota border the lake.
