Split Rock Lighthouse!

We made it to Split Rock! Harry is already looking forward to coming back in the fall!




These are the horns that produced a two second blast that could be heard five miles away!




Split Rock was Harry's favorite part of the trip!



Harry ran these. I almost died with all the other wives and mothers.




Captains House!



The inside was seriously my dream house!!!





And now photos of the beautiful scenery at Split Rock...



You can't tell in the pictures but there are two buoys by the cliff out there showing where the Madeira drifted towards shore.



























Of course, Harry had to show off and run up these steps!







High Falls!

We spent our honeymoon "Up North."
We hiked Tettegouche State Park.
We visited the High Falls.
The suspension bridge was awesome.
We saw some pretty rad views.


















Sugar Loaf Cove!

So Sugar Loaf Cove was completely underwhelming. I guess our expectations were too high after seeing Split Rock, Gooseberry Falls, and Iona's Beach. Our favorite part of Sugar Loaf was the iron rings. Harry and I enjoyed climbing the rocks and searching for those.







So stretched out. These rings worked hard.





The history of Sugar Loaf Cove is pretty neat!



I always wondered what the orange spots on the rocks were!




Harry's confused as to why this place is cool.

Iona's Beach!

Iona's Beach is a singing beach however, I must admit the real reason I wanted to go was because the rocks are pink!

Iona's Beach is beautiful! Way more beautiful than the photos!

The beach is made up of pink stones- some small, medium, large, and some gigantic! They are the result of the choppy waters of Lake Superior eroding a nearby cliff.

When waves crash onto the beach, the rocks move against one another to create a high- pitched tinkling sound.

It was so peaceful.

Iona's Beach is by far the most relaxing beach I have ever been too and I cannot wait to go back!


Iona's Beach was full of these amazing waves of rivets made of rocks and below you'll find me balancing on one. I tried taking a video of me walking down one because it sounds like breaking glass but I fell and it was comical. Harry and I were dying. I wish I knew how to upload videos to this blog.
