Kayaking Slideshow

Monday, July 21, 2008


Our kayaking excursion to the Apostle Islands in northern Wisconsin was a blast. It was our first "family" vacation and I think it was a success. We are already planning something fun for next year. We had a great guide named Joe, who helped us overcome our fear of death and extremely cold water.

Apostle Islands

Sunday, July 6, 2008


I'm about to set off on a three day kayaking excursion. Wisconsin's northernmost landscape juts out into Lake Superior as the scenic archipelago known as the Apostle Islands. The national lakeshore includes 21 islands and 12 miles of mainland Lake Superior shoreline, featuring pristine stretches of sand beach, spectacular sea caves, remnant old-growth forests, resident bald eagles and black bears, and the largest collection of lighthouses anywhere in the National Park System. Let's just hope my arms hold out...I've never actually done any kayaking before!!
