Summer of 2012 - Mackinac Island with Byam

 

Dogs are welcome here!  Thank you Michigan - great place to vacation if your family includes your puppy.  We listed to the information about the canons.  When we watched the demonstration on the parade grounds.  Byam was a bit bored there listening to all that talking and trying to stay still...until the very end when the guns were fired.  She was pulling at her leash to get over to the bushes and spent half an hour searching for pheasants.

 

We took a break from looking at the fort on Mackinac Island to wade in Lake Superior.

Summer of 2012 - Dogs Allowed on Mackinac Ferry

 

We took the slow leisurely - and least expensive ferry over to Mackinac Island.  And dogs are warmly welcomed.  

We love Michigan! 

Byam was really too interested in a couple of children to pose for the camera.

Summer of 2012 - Again?!?!? No Dogs on Beach

Wonderful spot to camp - almost on Lake Superior.
Unfortunately some people have not respected the beach, so again we see no animals on the beach.  No animals seems rather broad.  I wonder if the trouble was with waste not picked up - maybe trouble with a dog, horse, elephant?

Summer of 2012 - Byam in the Airstream

 

Not welcome in a boat, Byam spent this day napping in our Airstream.
This was my first time in a kayak, and I was so happily excited to try this new adventure.  Until we were pushed into the water by our guide.  The plan was to paddle over past Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.  We made it, even spending an extra half hour to paddle through an arch in the rocks - fantastic! 

 

While not the youngest "athletes" on the water, we were not last to arrive back on shore. I want to go again... just not tomorrow, my muscles ache.

Summer of 2012 - More Time in Lake Superior

Back in the water again!
Best sunsets over the lake, we have having a great time!

 

Summer of 2012 - Dog on Beach!

This trip to Michigan has been fantastic!
Byam has been loving her time on the beaches of Lake Superior.
She may be getting a little tired of having her photo taken.

Amazing place - I could have stayed forever!

Blue, warm, secluded.  Peaceful, perfect. 

Michigan is good for Brittany Spaniels.

 

Summer of 2012 - Washburn WI - Relaxing!

We had a beautiful site on Lake Superior at Memorial Park.

And Byam was the first to relax - finally feels like a vacation!

 Lake Superior - and Dogs ARE Welcome!
Look at the sand fly!  Byam had the best time digging in the sand, and spent a bit of time in the very clear water of Lake Superior.

Summer of 2012 Duluth - Great Dog Park

We had the entire dog park to ourselves.

 Keene Dog Park - great hill to run up and around!
