Today we drove out to Copper Harbor at the tip of the Keweenaw* Peninsula of Michigan's UP** As is our usual path, after Houghton/Hancock we turn left to the west side of the peninsula and FJ McClain State Park for a quick walk on the beach. Temps were quickly warming up inland, but it was nice and cool in the wind off the lake!

* It's pronounced KEY-win-ah, even though it's spelled keh-WEE-naw. If anyone knows why, we'd love to know!

** For those not familiar with local geography, UP = Upper Peninsula
