My husband and I found this lighthouse shop on our way home from Door County and I fell in love!
I was able to find some trinkets and souvenir clothing that I treasure.
My daughter and I planned a road trip and we wnt back to the shop and the lighthouse in the area.
We toured the ship that was available as well as the lighthouse and we had the best time! Even just the shop is worth the drive!
Probably France due to hearing that the residents do not appreciate tourists.
Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.
Believed in me.
I went to visit this lighthouse and walked the pier to view it on a beautiful day!
This public river access site is a site owned and operated by the State of Michigan. It is located on Harbor Drive near Tourist Park by the mouth of the Menominee River. It has a double boat ramp, paved parking area, and walkway to the lighthouse pier.
Place this on your list of must see this lighthouse! You may not be able to go inside but it is still an amazing one to view!
Another lovely day to do some exploring! Originally I was going to go to the Henry Vilas zoo but was way too peopley!! So I decided to venture to the Lake Kensoga state park to enjoy some quiet time by the water.
The air was a bit chilly by the lake but it was so beautiful, so very peaceful which is exactly what I needed today. I passed by some geese and luckily did not get goosed but I did catch a few shots of them along with a seagull.
I sat on the swing facing the water and was soothed by the sounds of the waves rushing over the shore.
I am always able to find happiness when I am near water especially the lake or ocean.🥰
I also took a drive back to Sun Prairie to get some nurishment at Gus’s diner- one of my fave establishments!
I decided to switch it up today! I am in Sun Prairie and went to the East towne mall to get my ring checked and cleaned. I shopped a bit and found the cutest earrings at hot topic- strawberries and bumblebees along with a strawberry shortcake perfume! So fun!
I remind myself to just take one day at a time and to find joy in the little things. Be silly and make yourself laugh! Find the beauty around you and throw away bad thoughts and take in the good.
Even if it’s found outside or inside a mall- find your own happiness!
The Big Bay Point Light is a lighthouse which stands on a tall bluff over a rocky point near Big Bay, Michigan, approximately 24 miles northwest of Marquette on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Today it is one of a few operational lighthouses with a bed and breakfast. It is reputed to be haunted.
I may have some more fondness for this lighthouse over any other due to being able to stay for 5 nights. It is a bed and breakfast run by a gentleman named Nick. The rooms are named for previous lighthouse keepers and we stayed in Assistant Temple room on the second floor. You could hear the waves of Lake Superior when you open your window and see the beauty of the landscape.
When you stay in this beautiful place you have access to the tower and able to go out on the platform and enjoy the view. Also a great place to watch the amazing sunrise and sunset over the water! There is also a shared dining space where you can enjoy the delicious (ok, yummy!) breakfast or take to your room or even outside to devour it.
This Lighthouse was built in 1896 to help mark a point between Granite Island and the Huron Islands.
You will have to drive to other destinations that you want to see, I recommend waterfalls and the shipwreck boat tour.
If you want to see what it would have been like to be a lighthouse keeper for a bit! Definitely ink this lighthouse onto your map with permanent marker! Perfect for a getaway for two!
I enjoy finding and learning about lighthouses and being able to go inside is an amazing thing. Being able to climb those 84 spiral stairs and imagine life as a lightkeeper. The original Northpoint Lighthouse was built in 1855 but the current one is now a museum and was constructed in 1888 and raised in 1912. (Same year as the Titanic sinking😥- another of my interests)
Anyway, the original lighthouse was a cream city brick structure. In the late 1880’s erosion of the bluff threatened it to the point of building a new lighthouse further back.
The new was built in an octagon shape with iron but the original 1855 lantern room was placed in the new.
In 1912 due to trees obstructing the light they had to raise the tower to 74 feet!
The coast guard decomissioned the lighthouse in 1994 and then in 2004 to present the lighthouse as a museum where patrons can learn and explore the building and area surrounding it.
I enjoy the beauty of the lighthouse and the lake and area around where you can hike and take photos. Simply beautiful! So take yourself to this part of history and bring along whomever you choose!
Live life to the fullest! Explore your world!
