After a few days seeing lighthouses we continued to the upper peninsula to visit family. My mother grew up in Ishpeming, Michigan, and spent summers on Lake Michigamme. My Aunt Julie was impressed that I was the first of my generation to bring my spouse to the "U.P." (Upper Peninsula). It was nice to see my grandparents gravesite, and hear family stories from my Aunts and Uncles, as well as my Mom's Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. We of course ate pasties and hiked to Old Baldy. We even stopped at the Da Yoopers Tourist Trap so that James had an even better idea of what being a "Yooper" is all about.
