Vacation 2016, Day 2

We got a late start to our day and had pizza delivered to the room for breakfast and lunch. The weather was questionable so we headed over to the zoo. For a small zoo it was very nice.

The rest of the day was spent in the water park and arcade. We had late night dinner at Applebees and then returned to our room for the night. The room here is very nice. We actually have two connecting rooms. Ours is a suite with a King Bedroom and full kitchen. The other is two queen beds and both have balcony's.

The entire complex is huge! Starting to get to know my way around without thinking about it. Below are a couple of pictures of the outdoor water park, adventure park and zoo. This is in the courtyard between the buildings.

Both taken from our balcony.

Today is our last day before heading for Niagra Falls. Not sure what is on the agenda for today?

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.

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.
