After a week full of meetings with my team in Minneapolis, I am taking an introvert retreat (read: solo vacation) before heading home.

I’m spending the weekend up in Bayfield, Wisconsin, this weekend, and decided to venture over to Madeline Island for the day.

Here I am waiting in line for the ferry. It’s … a little smaller than the ones we have for Bainbridge Island. 😉

Mostly I just drove around the island, but there were a few cute scenes along the way.
