Niagara Falls - Ontario, Canada
We decided to visit Niagara Falls on the Canadian side as so many told us the falls were much better viewed from Canada than the US.
Oktoberfest in Frankenmuth, MI
We found out about Frankenmuth's Oktoberfest celebration as we traveled through Michigan UP and decided
the timing was right for us to join in on this Oktoberfest celebration!
Showing our Oktoberfest spirit with our Bavarian Hats!
History:
Lord Mayor Christian Ude and the German Parliament from Munich gave an official proclamation in 1996. Frankenmuth's Oktoberfest was declared the first Oktoberfest to operate with the blessing of the original Oktoberfest in Munich. With this proclamation, the event was moved into September to coincide with the opening of the Munich event. Also, for the first time in history, the world-famous Hofbräuhaus brewery of Munich exported their beer to the United States. The Hofbräuhaus became the official beer sponsor of the Frankenmuth Oktoberfest in 1997.
Michigan - Makinaw City/Island, Soo Locks, and much more!
We camped in St Ignace and Mackinaw City and spent time exploring there as well as one last trip up into the Michigan Upper Pennisula.
Munising, Michigan - Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
Our last stop along Lake Superior Upper Peninsula was Munising, MI. We visited
the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore - another Gem we happened to find
along the way.
It has three distinct sections along the shoreline - cliffs, beaches and sand dunes.
