Day 5- Sault St. Marie and Shipwreck Museum



Thursday of our trip brought some rainy and cool (48ºin the morning) weather. Luckily we made it through the first part (the boat ride) without rain. We rode a boat through the Locks on the lake. There was a 21 foot difference in the water from lake to lake! We started the tour on the American side and ended up going through the Canadian side on the way back. So Kingston has technically been out of the country now!!




After the boat tour, we asked the locals where we should eat. (Rachel Ray always suggests this on her show!) Frank's Place was the suggestion, and boy was it yummy! The homemade soups, sandwiches and dessert were AWESOME, but the fact that they had Cherry Coke sealed the deal!



The next stop took us to Whitefish Point. Here they have a shipwreck museum of the boats that have crashed on this point. It was raining and Kingston was tired by this point. He and I made it through a few of the buildings of the museum, but then opted to sit in the truck and watch a movie.




The cutest part of this trip was when everyone got out at the museum and put their hoods on, Kingston told Mimi that he didn't have a neighborhood (his version of a hood)! Mimi took care of that and Kingston is the proud owner of a Shipwreck Hoodie (neighborhood)!
