some things to sit on or in
I apologize for the VERY poor quality of photographs, but we've had it a little gloomy around here in the mornings! No matter, one still has to find a comfy place to rest one's bottom whether just hanging out or looking through old photos. These were taken on different days when I was working at the dining room table and turned around to find R quite occupied with her own pursuits,

camping day 2 - miner's beach, miner's castle and miner's falls
After a little picnic lunch to fortify us, we set off to enjoy the beach!
Of course, the sand must be tested and tasted
We played and played
Papa did some adventuring
And then we headed off to Miner's Castle for a short hike and some photo ops
It was a photo like the one below on the Pure Michigan site (of course sunnier and professionally taken) that got me interested in taking a trip to the UP in the first place
But I think I like this view even better!
We capped off the afternoon with a hike to Miner's Falls
It was a brief hike through a hilly, forested area filled with very pretty yellow birch trees
Time for a nap!
A great first full day at Pictured Rocks!

camping day 2 - sand point
Just past Munising Falls was a great interpretive trail and beach area, Sand Point.
A main feature, of course (click to enlarge)
It was a really nice foresty/marshy trail with lots of different plants and absolutely no one else around - very peaceful. So peaceful, in fact, someone couldn't resist a little nap.
Right across the street was a beautiful white sand beach with very shallow water. Too bad it was CHILLY!
We returned here a couple days later when it was sunny and R was awake so she could play and play in the sand!

camping day 2 - munising falls
We set out to see the sights - after a hearty breakfast...
and a stop at National Park HQ, of course!
Munising Falls was just a short drive out of town and then an easy hike amongst the trees and rocks
Papa got the added exercise benefit of carrying Baby on Day 1!
Some lush foliage
And the first of several waterfalls during our trip
