On June 7, 2025, we visited the Mississippi Headwaters at Itasca State Park, despite uncertain weather. The busy park atmosphere made photography challenging. The highlight was my wife and daughter crossing the headwaters. We also visited Alexa’s Elixir in Detroit Lakes before a thunderstorm cut our exploration short. Excited for our next trip!
Join us for an exciting adventure as we explore the stunning Fall colors of the North Shore in Minnesota. Enjoy breathtaking views at Lutsen Mountains and a delightful visit to Grand Portage State Park, where High Falls captivates with its natural beauty.
We had a blast exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore!
After starting at the Philip A. Hart Visitor Center, we were rewarded with breathtaking views of the sand dunes. We topped off our day by relaxing on the beach, soaking up the sun, and chasing waves!

Visiting Mackinac Island feels like stepping back in time, with its charming old-school architecture and car-free streets. Our group enjoyed a horse carriage tour, exploring sites like Surrey Hills Museum, Fort Mackinac, and the Butterfly Conservatory. Great day trip experience!
