On our last full day in the Pictured Rocks, we took a cruise to see the rocks from the lake side. I'm so glad we were able to see them both from the top on land and the bottom by the lake!
In keeping with the theme of the trip...it was really cold once the boat got going!
Good thing Grandpa is always always prepared with a literal bag full of Patagonia sweaters (although I think this particular one was what he was wearing before he took it off to wrap up the boys).
Can't wait to kayak through these arches someday!
Our boat pulled right into this little inlet, which was really fun.
Love that gorgeous water!
After the cruise, my parents treated us to a real Michigan lunch: pasties! For some reason the pasty shop was all Sasquatch-themed, which was pretty apropos with Neil's shirt choice that day.
On our way back, we stopped to see Miner's Falls, which we had been about to explore that morning when we switched tacks to go to the boat cruise instead (we were standing at Miner's Castle when I booked the tour tickets...we waited until the day of to see what the weather would be).
The walk to the falls was SO pretty! Matthew had fallen asleep in the car so Neil stayed with him and took his own nap.
Lots more napping happening in the car (this was like...a twenty-minute drive).
And then back to the campground for our last night with Mom & Dad before they headed home for a day before going on to Utah!
Loved these gummies Dad found...
Goodbye Mom & Dad! Love their very Michigan setup.
