Day 3: Sunday, 25 August

We started late enough for it to be a little warmer than the day before, and we were dressed warmer than Saturday.  It was still a pleasant 68 degrees or so.
We had decided to go to the Maritime Museum in South Haven; so it took a short drive up a 2-lane to I 96 (we hate the interstate, but it was the best way to get there quickly). It took only an hour; so it was worth it, but we did not enjoy the ride up I-196 to South Haven.  Found the museum without worries.

Well…I did get us lost before we found the Interstate; this is why Andy almost never lets me lead.  We did see the following lighthouse, however:

Now, back to the Museum:

Museum Boat House

Museum Tall Boat

We could have taken a boat ride on the tall ship above or up the river, but we just enjoyed the exhibits in the museum, the boat house, and around the grounds.  After spending a good while there, including sitting on a bench for awhile watching all the boats, yachts, and speed boats in the channel.

Then we decided to go back down the coast about 20 miles (on a great two-lane highway along the lake-shore from which we could look past the big houses and see Lake Michigan called The Blue Star Highway) to see the lighthouse at St. Joseph. It was a great day ending back up in Holland, MI at a Baymont Hotel. Good night all.
