Before we left Michigan, we visited the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse in Port Huron, Michigan. On the day we visited the lighthouse they were having their 10th Annual Sand Fest. All of the money needed to maintain the lighthouse comes from donations, gift shop sales, entrance and parking fees, and the money generated from the Sand Fest. This is a beautiful lighthouse on the southern tip of Lake Huron. I enjoyed it even more because I was able photograph and watch the artists working on their sand sculptures. These artists really take pride in their work, as you can see from the photos below.
Just south of the lighthouse is the Blue Water Bridge that connects the US to Canada. It is one of the busiest bridges connecting the two countries. I got a good photo of this bridge, taken from the top of the lighthouse.
Also, before we left Michigan, we got to visit Palmer Park in St. Clair, one more time. This is one of our favorite places in Michigan. It is right on the St. Clair River and boasts the longest boardwalk in the state of Michigan. We have visited this park several times over the years. We like to take a picnic lunch, some folding chairs, and sit and relax while we watch the big ships go by.
The last two photos in this post are of the Ohio River from Charlestown State Park in Indiana.
