For our 42nd anniversary, we decided to explore the Keweenaw Peninsula (instead of just saying, "Yes, Michigan Tech is in Houghton.") We drove the west coast ribbon road to Copper Harbor, toured Quincy Mine and Foundry, spent more time than expected at the Seaman Museum of Minerals and Gems at Michigan Tech, and hiked Estevan Pines. Each night, we came home to a cozy cabin for dinner and Scrabble. An excellent week, all told.
