Celebrate Your Marriage

Last Sunday Michelle and I headed for Mackinaw Island for the Celebrate Your Marriage Conference/Seminar.  This is hosted by Jay and Laura Laffoon.  This was our second year to attend and we again had a great time.  This is a very busy 2 days.  The seminar is at the Grand Hotel which is incredible when you look at the history there.  The trip is worth it just for the meals that are included in your stay.  This is a great way to spend time with your wife and celebrate what you share.  I recommend that if you are reading this blog that you take the time to go to this at least once.  I plan on going every year.  I love you Michelle!

Greeted by Mayflies again.

Thank you to all the veterans that made the ultimate sacrifice so that all of us can have the freedom we enjoy today.
God Bless You on this Memorial Day weekend!
 
No cars on the island.

We spotted this giant turtle on our hike.
 
Next year we hope to spend an extra day on the island and at the Grand.  There are a lot of things that we would like to do and just don't have the time during the conference. I just can't say enough how much fun we had again.  I can't wait till next year.  I love you Michelle!

Summer Vacation: Day 10, Heading Home.

Sunday would be a long day of travel as we would make the trek home in one day.  Still shorter than driving from Marquette. We had breakfast and started to pack up.  I had put the bikes on the van Saturday evening while the grill was heating up and loaded a few things up.  We managed to get on the around just a few minutes after 12:00pm.   Michelle would take the first leg of the drive at the wheel of the van and I would rest.  We made a stop at a rest area in Manistique and I took a few photos. A lighthouse for Michelle.  A mouse in a tuxedo! We got back on the road and stopped at another rest area.   Very cool! Brendan made a friend. The were not to bad. Our next stop would be St. Ignace.  We wanted to eat at Clyde's Drive In.  However, after arriving the place was packed.  So we went to B.C. Pizza again.  After lunch we made our way to Castle Rock as we were not able to climb it on o...

End of Summer

The Best Time to Bike! On Saturday I traveled with Raymond to the Bear Claw Epic.  This was the second annual race and the second time up there for Raymond and I.  We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so?  I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out.  I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good.  This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens.  I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb. The beginner awards were going on and they announced my name as first place for Beginner Men 50-59.  I was surprised, but did not protest.  Aft...
