    My mom and I were Lucky enough to visit Leigh's Garden Winery as one of our stops on an American Queen Voyage shore excursion. The owners, Julie and Tony were warm and welcoming and the winery is cozy and inviting. Apparently, Julie had been working at the winery learning to make wine for some time when the previous owner decided to sell. Not wanting the winery to disappear, Julie and Tony bought the bar so that this Escanaba landmark can continue its legacy. Julie makes all of the wine in-house and we enjoyed 5 samples of our choosing with nice pours! The wine was Lovely and we were happy to take home a souvenir wine glass to remind of us our time on the Great Lakes. (Also, we had an Amazing piano player with us as part of our group and we Loved sipping our wine while listening to him play the Beautiful piano in the back room. He was very Impressed with the piano itself and how well it has been maintained). Definitely recommend Leigh's Garden as a fun stop if you are visiting Escanaba or a relaxing place to visit if you are local. Wishing Julie and Tony Good Luck in keeping this Delightful place open and successful!

    How fortunate that the Delta County Historical Society is represented by the young man that I encountered today at the Sand Point Lighthouse. His name is Sean Sullivan. Although young, he was wise beyond his years knowing a lot about the history of the museum and the lighthouse. I enjoyed my tour very much so and we'll recommend it highly to anyone visiting the area. From an avid lighthouse fan, thank you very much.

    This park offered something for everyone. The beach was easily accessible and parts of it are dog friendly. The water is very shallow, which would be great for kids. There are paths for walking or biking, a large play area, and it is a short walk or bike ride to see the lighthouse. Well worth a stop along your way.

    I took pictures of about 20 lighthouses during our trip around the U.P. Some were excellent, some were just of, some were in the middle of nowhere, some in the middle of everything. The Sand Point Light in Escanaba has the classic light station look and is right in town. It was closed on an early Monday morning, but I walked all over looking at the displays and info boards and checked out the outbuildings and even the shoreline. Don't miss the path that runs behind the Historical Society. There is a bell, a rudder and a few other things back there to check out.

    My children have participated in many classes and events at Bonifas ranging from drawing, painting, cooking, Mother and Son SuperHero as well as acting. They do a wonderful job with children.

    Their gallery is open to the public and is ever changing as well.

    I was spending the afternoon with two of my grandchildren. We had already played mini golf and I asked what they'd like to do next. To my surprise, my grand daughter suggested going to the library. I was thrilled as I love libraries (I like reading a 'book' rather than online or audio). She found a couple of books that she would've liked to take out but she didn't have a library card. As I don't live in their area, I couldn't take it out for her or get her one. But she took pictures of the books so her mother could get it and also get them their own cards. The clerk was very patient and informative as I had alot of questions!! Escanaba is fortunate to have this wonderful library.

    Well kept, clean, bathrooms and showers are kept nice. Many sites are pull through. Large playground and pavilion. Hiking trails, boat launch, and disk golf. Rustic camping area is away from other area for a more quiet retreat. Only drawback it that is is near a railway but that didn't really bother us. They are currently working on the Escanba River Bridge which can sometimes make getting in and out of campground tricky because of traffic. We were there for 5 nights over Labor Day weekend and enjoyed every minute. Have stayed here many times in the past and will continue to return. Very convenient location to both Escanaba and Gladstone. Island Casino is about 15 miles away also.

    I've been going to Pelegrini's since I was a little girl. It's tradition to go around the fourth of July with family and pick berries!

    We enjoyed our time, but it was not a bike ride that provided great views or fun. Other bike trails and rides around the area were better.

    This is a huge church with solid red bricks.

    The Celtic cross is on the top.

    It has two huge towers.

    There is a beautiful stained-glass window.

    Worship starts at 10:30 A.M.

    Worthwhile to see!

    I attended a service here. The church is lovely, but the acoustics were pretty bad-maybe because I sat to the side near the columns, but the echoes made it difficult to understand what was said or sung.

    Bethany Lutheran Church: ELCA has two towers. The Celtic cross is on the middle of the church.

    There are four crosses on the church.

    Thia church is solid, built in bricks.

    There is a beautiful stained glass window.
