We moved across the bridge into the UP(ah it feels like home) and on to Brimley State Park. Brimley is just a few miles from Sault Ste Marie, MI which is why we decided to stay there. We had never stayed at this park before but the attraction on this particular occasion was MATT. Matt was travelling through on his way from Toronto to Minnesota and this was a stopping point for him. We had made plans to meet up for a couple of days. It was really good to see him. We had a nice time visiting and just catching up.
The trees were just beginning to show their colors. There was one in the campground that was still green except for the ends of all of the branches and they were bright red.
We took a walk along the beach and you can see the Sault from the campground.
Matt had some major news for us. He and Seri both have gotten jobs in Houghton at Michigan Tech. Seri has a research position at Tech and Matt will be working for the Forest Service on a project for them. We are so happy for them both finding jobs in the same place.
We went into the Sault for some sight seeing and had a nice time. We saw some ships in the locks and toured the historical museum. Here is Matt with Mom.
Here is one of Matt and Dad.
We really enjoyed our time with Matt. We were sorry that Seri was not able to join us. But now that they will both be in Houghton we will have a reason to visit the UP more often. That sounds like a win-win deal. We get to see the kids and the UP both.
