As we began to get close to Bayfield, WI (where we caught the ferry to the island) we began to see literal fields of lupine. Neither of us have ever seen so much lupine in one spot in our lives. The picture below (obviously taken from a moving car) does not do the lupine justice.
Once in Bayfield we boarded the Ferry to the island. This was easily the biggest highlight of the trip for Henry. He has continued is fascination with anything transportation related.
Zoe didn't really like her spot on the ferry.

Once off the ferry we drove to our next campsite. This was easily the best campsite we had the whole time (and one of the top five ever). Our tent was way off of any path/roads and nestled back in the trees yet we did get some late afternoon sun to subdue the mosquitoes.
It was cool enough in the mornings that clothes were better than bugspray.
Once we were settled in we headed out to a local county park to play at the beach (Zoe was not allowed at the state park beach). It was really nice. There was a nice cool breeze off the lake and it was sort of cloudy in the morning. A careful observer will see Zoe enjoying the cool lake.
After enjoying our morning there, we decided to come back later in the day, play on the beach and enjoy an picnic. Suddenly the sun came out and it was beautiful. The water was still VERY cold. I (Derek) was the only one besides Zoe to venture in above my knees. By the time the water was to my waist, my toes were beginning to ache.

The beach pictures are great! Looks like Henry had fun playing in the sand, and Zoe too. Here's hoping the water is a little warmer in VA.
