Day Two — Touristy Tuesday
This was the day that threatened rain. Luckily for us, Bruce ignored the GPS instructions to the Mystery Spot and it poured down rain when we were in the car headed the wrong direction. All’s well that ends well. Anyway, this particular day we hit the corny tourist spots of St. Ignace: Castle Rock, the Mystery Spot, and the Worst Minigolf Ever.
Before the climb up Castle Rock.
See what I mean about corny tourist stuff? We had fun, though.
"Hey, Sam! Show me how tired you are!" Halfway up Castle Rock.
View from the top. You can barely see the dock at the campground in the upper left.
Sam wasn't too comfortable all the way out at the edge...
But Mom and Avery didn't mind. Windy up there.
So then we headed for the Mystery Spot. Which is either full of optical illusions, or a magic place where the rules of physics don't apply, with cute college girls as your guide to the wonders within. You decide.
Ask Sam about how he floated on the chair. He'll love to tell you about it.
Avery was not a fan of the Mystery Spot, but she LOVED this maze. We did it twice, once all together and once we raced. (Sam and Mom won).
Pretty view at the state park
The first minigolf place we tried was closed for some reason (gave up because of the earlier rain?) and we had promised the kids, so... we ended up here. The place was ripped up and decrepit, we couldn't hear each other over road noise, and it was boring. Oh well.
Mom and Dad thought it was too chilly for the lake Tuesday night, but that didn't stop the kids.
