Upper Peninsula Part 2 - Tahquamenon Falls

One of the last things we did was go see the Tahquamenon Falls.  They were I think the biggest falls I've seen.
My first view of the lower falls.


A little closer




We rowed out to this island so we could see the falls closer up.





This is the close up of the falls in the first picture.


Mom took the tripod to get some shot with the slow shutter speed.  She was able to get much better shots than I was. However I am only posting mine.  I might post some of hers later.

Closer up 
Please note that they look much smaller than they really are!

Upper Peninsula Part 1

I forgot to add this picture in the first post of our trip.  When we went out to take pictures of the sunset we got to see this full rainbow (and a little of a double).

We stayed at a hotel that looked out over Lake Superior.  It was awesome to be able to wake up in the morning to a beautiful sunrise!

After the sun went behind the clouds

Around 8:00 it looked like this.  There always seemed to be clouds hovering over the horizon/lake like this.

A ship that decided to stop outside our window. :)

The next morning after arriving at our hotel (this would be Tuesday), we stopped at Whitefish Point.

We walked the rocky beach and looked for agates.  Dad found one on our second trip!

All of the thousands of rocks!  All of them were so smooth and pretty!

The wet and dry

Waves crashing (it was very windy!)


Dad's agate
Isn't it neat?
