Ah...wee vacation

Enjoyed a long weekend in the Apostle Islands with my parents.  We left from Bayfield, WI, sailed to Stockton Island, did some hiking through muddy trails, got eaten by bugs, went for a swim in Lake Superior, killed some flies, drank some chocolate martinis, spilled some chocolate martinis, went for a cleansing dip in the lake, ate some burgers...and that was just Saturday.  :^)  

On Sunday we sailed over to Raspberry Island for another muddy, buggy hike and walked around the lighthouse grounds. It was awesome.  I could have done without the bugs, though.  I was their favoritest human snack ever. I even sprayed myself with a hefty coating of DEET before the hikes.  Still ended up covered in welts of various sizes, thanks to the mosquitoes and various breeds of biting flies.  I'm still itching today. 

Still, in the Apostles Island covered in bug bites is better than being not there.  :^)
