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.

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...

Happy Labor Day!

So we had another busy week leading up to Labor Day Weekend.  On Wednesday we had Brendan's open house for 4th Grade.  We did some shopping after and I sold my Giant OCR. Giant OCR Composite 3 I bought this bike in 2005.  I put some good miles on it over the years.  For about 6 years it had been in the basement on the trainer.  I had rebuilt it this summer and took it out a couple of times.  It just seemed to big now.  I guess I am a little older and less flexible.  I decided to put it up for sale as it just did not fit any longer.  I found a nice young man that was looking for a road bike and he really liked it.  It is going to a good home and will be out on the road where it belongs. The funds from this sale went toward the purchase of a front wheel to go on the Farley and will fit the Bluto.  That wheel should be in some time this week. On Saturday morning we did not have Brendan.  He stayed at mom's with ...
