Family Journal: Farewell Upper Peninsula – July 28, 2025

Sunset Lake

It was a busy final full day in Caspian. I had two interviews in the morning with potential schools for the 2026-2027 school year. Nadia and I also had a bunch of errands and tasks to complete before leaving our home. Nadia and I took two days to tidy the garage. It’s been many years since it was cleaned. In the afternoon, Oliver and I took a 200-lb load from the garage to Waste Management‘s Iron River Station. We also put on the finishing touches on the bathroom, fixed the weed trimmer, paid the water bill, etc.

We had such a good time at Sunset Lake Park on Monday that we went back on Tuesday. It was our final night in Iron County, and we wanted to make it special. Oliver, Ocean, Nadia, and my brother Jimmer accompanied me for a sunset swim to cool off after a day of projects. I love summer and it was such an enjoyable afternoon/evening with my family. We had a BBQ of Wisconsin bratwurst and hamburgers while listening to the Detroit Tigers defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks. Detroit Tiger baseball on the internet radio, BBQ, hot weather, green grass, blue skies, a bit of humidity, and cool drinks made for a delightful evening. I was savoring the atmosphere. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves, and we swam out to the dock. It really cooled me and I slept well last night.
