Jolli Lodge - Last Post

Saturday morning, we decided to hike up Pyramid Point.  Pyramid Point is a peninsula between Good Harbor Bay and Sleeping Bear Bay, and is visible from the Jolli Lodge.  The hike is pretty easy -- less than a mile uphill on a very nice groomed path in the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore.

After hiking through a meadow, we made our way into a forest.

After climbing through the forest, the trail ended and the world seemed to fall away!

After hiking back to our Big Red Van, we drove over to Cedar for our "international" experience of the vacation.  Cedar is known for its Polish population and their very energetic Polka-Fest.  But, we were there for the tacos at the Cedar Sol Hydro Farm.  Apparently, they sell hydroponic equipment and hydroponic crops . . . and tacos.  As reported by the Pennsylvania/D.C. Taylors, the tacos were excellent!

We sucked down our tacos and headed back to the Jolli Lodge for more swimming.  (You can see Pyramid Point in the background.)

No vacation is truly a vacation until we've taken a picture of Peter jumping into a lake.

Splash!

The Lodge from the beach.

The four of us went out in a couple of kayaks for a while, and then later Peter and I spent a considerable amount of time at sea.  When we came back to the beach, Peter found the paddle, climbed back in, and practiced for a while.

For dinner on Saturday, we got together with Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Don, Maisie, Quinn, NanaB, and GrandDad at a cottage they rented in Leland.  Unfortunately, we did not take any pictures.  

Sunday morning, we woke up, had breakfast at the Early Bird in Leland, picked up the dog and hung out with Uncle Dave and Aunt Lisa . . .  and didn't take any pictures again.  Awwwwww.

We can't wait to go up North again!
