Summer Vacation Day 3: Travel Day

We were the last ones to check out of the Ceder Motor Inn in Marquette on Sunday.  We were heading to our next destination, Gladstone, Michigan.  We are renting a house for a week.

Our first stop was Wendy's for a little snack and then we went to downtown Marquette to do a little shopping.   We spent some time there and did one last drive through Preque Isle.  We then stopped by the old lighthouse for a bit.

Relics from the Coast Guard station.

Next leg of the road trip was to Munising for lunch.  We stopped at Johnny Dog's and enjoyed gourmet hot dogs, taco's and Red Neck Fries.  Very good food.

We left Munising enroute to the house in Gladstone.  We arrived and unpacked all of our stuff so we could settle in.  After unpacking Michelle headed for the Meijer in Escanaba to get supplies and I took Brendan out fishing.  He caught a Rock Bass.  We also so a beautiful sunset.


We returned to the house as it got dark and Michelle returned from shopping.  That was our day.

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...

January 27, 2012

It has been a while since an update and the common cold has been working its way through the family.  Michelle and the boys have got the worst of it so far.  It has slowed me down but has not put me down.  Hopefully it won't get me completely.  It did cause Michelle to miss 2 days of work and I missed one.  We both missed Financial Peace University last night, we will have to watch the video.  It has caused me to miss some training. However, I did manage to get on the trainer 2 days this week and hopefully again tomorrow. Dad had a procedure today and all was well.  Had to get up early and pick him up.  He had the procedure at Covenant so I was able to work for a while when he was in.  We went out to lunch afterwards and then had a good visit with him and mom. This winter continues to be mild as we again are having above normal temperatures.  We had snow last night and most of it melted today.  They are call...
