Animal Sightings
Jun 24th
On our last trip after the Big Ticket Festival, we traveled to the UP. We visited the Tahquamenon Falls State Park. Prior to dinner at the brewery, (at the park), we saw a deer just wandering through the parking lot. I grabbed my camera and followed it while it was snacking on some weeds and grass. It was surreal! Then we decided to drive around a bit and saw 2 black bear at two different times just wandering down the road. If I see a moose, I will feel complete! Pics to come.

The second day brought more adventure. After getting a cup of Starbucks, I made my way to Boston Common and sat to enjoy my morning java and the scenary.
