This is a nice day trip of checking out Lighthouses with a total of 11 lights and lighthouses. With any luck the weather will work out and we will be able to do this trip sooner then later and I will do cool blog posts for each town we visit so this trip will get broken into at least 4 blog posts. I am also working on our next day trip up through a section of the Upper Peninsula. So look for that post soon.
