Journey to the "End of the Earth": Day 3 {final day}

On our 3rd and final day in Michigan's Upper Peninsula we definitely weren't ready to leave. We had already seen A LOT but there was still so much more we wanted to see. We were in paradise, literally...and who wants to leave paradise?! I sure didn't. But reality and responsibility was calling so that morning after a final sunrise kayak ride on Lake Superior we packed our bags and left our beautiful lake front cottage with many new great memories and over 1,000 photographs.

What an amazing, incredible experience the past 3 days had been. Together Rob and I saw the beauty of Fall in Michigan. At one point on our drive through the Porcupine Mountains I had tears streaming down my cheeks because it was THAT beautiful. Like nothing I had ever seen. They were happy tears of course. I was just so overjoyed and THANKFUL that we had had the opportunity to go somewhere most people don't even know exists. We had become one with nature for those few days and it felt great to be away from reality.

But it wasn't quite over yet. We had one last stop to make.

Bond Falls.







Amazing isn't it? Maybe now you can understand why I cried. Riiiiight? :)

I am so beyond blessed to have a man in my life who shares the same passion for traveling that I do. A man who appreciates the true beauty of God's creation. Someone who feels complete contentment in driving, hiking, and kayaking through nature. Rob I am SO thankful for you!

Friends, life is too short. And the world is a book. Those who do not travel read only one page.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
~ Mark Twain


I am determined to see as much of the world as I can in my remaining years on this planet because it's too damn amazing not to.
