Vacation Wrap Up

 
I had hoped to post up a short hightlight video of the Shore Rock and Junior Rock races.  Unfortunately I keep getting an error when trying to post, so there will be no video.
 
 
I will just talk about our trip home.  We left Marquette around 12pm and headed out.  We got to Johnny Dog's in Munising for lunch and they were closed for a catering event. So we went down the street and ate at the Dogpatch.  Decent burger special that came with the salad bar, otherwise overpriced.  Service left something to be desired.
 
We got back on the road and our next stop would be the Garlyn Zoo. The boys really enjoyed this stop.
 
I always suspected Brendan had horns?
 
Peacocks were roaming everywhere!
 
Porcupine behind!
 
Mountain Lion was for sale in the Gift Shop.
 

 
We left the zoo and were on the road again.  At this point it was well after 5pm.  We stopped in Gaylord and ate at Applebee's.  Got coffee and treats at Starbucks and filled the gas tank again.  We were then on the last leg of our trip.  It was actually a very good day of travel.  The kids were on their best behavior of the trip also.  We ended up rolling into the garage around 11pm.  A long day and happy to be home.

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...

Independence Day

Another busy weekend and celebration of our country's independence.  I got a short ride in on Friday morning.  We then were preparing for a wedding.  Barb and Steve, a couple at our church were getting married and the ceremony/reception would be at Dawn and Reuben's house.  Reuben performed the ceremony and I was asked to do the photography.  This worked out great as I had purchased a used Sony DSLR camera on eBay and got to test it out.  It was a very nice ceremony and celebration with our church family and friends.   You may kiss the bride!   We then stuck around and all of us went to the fireworks at the Clio Park to cap off the evening.  We got home late and went right to bed.   I slept in a bit on Saturday morning and got up to watch the start of the Tour de France.  It was a good stage with a sprint finish and a bad crash that took Mark Cavendish out of the race.  I then ventured out on a 23 mile ride o...

Brendan's Last Birthday Party

So today we had another party for Brendan's Birthday.  We also celebrated MacKenzie's birthday today (hers was yesterday).  We had Michelle's parents here also.  This was about the 6th birthday celebration for Brendan.  Michelle made some really cool cakes for the two of them.   Brendan's Turtle Cake     Mackenzie's Owl Cake   Everyone arrived and we had a great meal and watched the Michigan/Michigan State game.  Very close game with Michigan pulling out the win in the last seconds.  There was cake and ice cream and the traditional Happy Birthday song.
