Enjoying the beauty of Lake Superior

A few weeks ago I had the priveledge of taking a trip with my husband, mother-in-law and father-in-law. We road tripped with them to the Keewanaw Peninsula in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We stayed at Sand Hills Lighthouse Bed & Breakfast along the shore of Lake Superior, where my husband and I were engaged in May of 2005.

This is a magical place for my husband and I because we were engaged there. I wondered if my in-laws would appreciate it as much as we do. Of course the memories are what makes is so special for us, but the breakfasts are to die for (although not for those on a diet!) and the evening desserts are something to look forward to all day. The evening piano music after watching the sun set from the lighthouse tower over Lake Superior is the best way to end the day. 

Sunset is my second favorite time of day (second only to sunrise, which sadly to say, I could not drag myself out of bed early enough to see during this trip!) and looking at a beautiful sunrise over water is an ever bigger treat! This picture was taken by my husband from the tower of the lighthouse.
We enjoyed visiting other lighthouses along Lake Superior's shores and shopping at the gift shops along the way. We had great conversations and enjoyed gorgeous fall colors in the car ride to our destination. We also collected rocks and driftwood. It was relaxing and one of the vacations that leaves you feeling rested and full of love...It was only fitting that I found more heart shaped rocks to add to my collection during this trip!

Well, I think my husband's parents loved it as much as we did! I think I even caught tears in my mother-in-law's eyes a few times. She cries like I do when I am overwhelmed with happiness and love:)
