Lovely day and a relaxing Sunday a few weekends back.

Whitefish Point Lighthouse has guided sailors along Lake Superior since 1861, standing watch over one of the most challenging stretches of water on the Great Lakes. It’s a place where history, resilience, and the power of nature come together. Some destinations don’t just give you a view—they remind you of the stories that brought us here.

Have you visited Whitefish Point, or is it still on your Michigan bucket list?

My husband playing in Lake Superior. It was our first trip to that part of the UP.
