Today, Jeremy is 20!

After breakfast, we went to pick up Jeremy for the day.

We stopped at a copper mine, where Jeremy and Ida took the 1 1/2 hour tour.  I did not want to go into the mine and certainly did not want to go when they said something about bats!

Terry and I watched the movie about the area, while waiting for them to finish their tour.  The movie was very interesting.

We then went to lunch at Toni's in Laurium  A nice little bakery/restaurant in a little town.

We then went up to Copper Harbor at the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula.  Disappointing.  Thought it would be a cute little town with little shops, etc. It is a sleepy little town with nothing of interest.  We did see Lake Superior and yes, it was windy!








However, being with a boy scout has benefits - Jeremy found a waterfall for us to see.



We then saw a lighthouse in Eagle Harbor.



We then went to Calumet to see the theatre there, however we could not tour as a performance was taking place.  Fire regulations started there!

We then went into Houghton for dinner at Ambassador, an Italian Restaurant on the water.  You could see the mine that Jeremy and Ida toured from there.



 
 
Jeremy did not want us to bring his cake into the restaurant so we went back to his dorm, where we shared the cake on two plates with four forks!
 
 
 
 
 
We are now watching the Roosevelt Series after saying good-bye to Jeremy until he is home for a weekend in Oct.
