Photos from Our Road Trip Up North

 

Today I worked from home, and at lunch Travalon and I took a walk on Governor's Island, where we saw the big party boat Midnight Splash full of people. First we heard it - the music was LOUD! We wondered who got Tuesday off to go on a boat, and I wondered if a restaurant was taking their workers for a boat ride, since some of them are closed on Tuesdays. That's kind of a wonderful thought. When I worked in the private sector, literally everyone but me who had worked on a project was invited to go on a Betty Lou Cruise, and working for the university, we don't go on corporate boat rides. I didn't mind just going with Travalon and/or a friend or two, so hopefully they start back up again.

Here are some photos from our trip up North. First, here we are on Rib Mountain.

Here's the beach at our resort.

In this photo you can see the peddle boat we used.

Here we are on the Trout Lake Trail.

Some mushrooms on the trail.

Here is one of the swans at Presque Isle.

And their Veterans' Memorial with an eternal flame.

Their big excitement in town seems to be this floating stage.

We also saw this cute turtle there.

Here are a couple of shots of Firefly Lake.

Here I am re-enacting the photo on the main page of this blog. I thought I took one of Travalon also imitating this pose, but apparently his camera didn't actually take the photo.

Here is Mosinee Hill, aka. Baby Back Rib Mountain.

This is only a sampling. I will post more photos tomorrow.
