Summer Vacation Day 4: The ER

Day four started out with beautiful weather.  We had breakfast and Michelle took Brendan fishing.  I decided I would take a ride on the bike and do a little recon for a family bike ride.

I set off east to ride toward Rapid River.  I rode around the the edge of the bay and took a few pictures.


Dunes on the edge of Gladstone.

This was around 4-5 miles out of town in a small subdivision.


The photo above is of a small river I crossed, unfortunately I cannot remember the name.  I thought I found a bike trail that would be nice for all of us.  Unfortunately it was swampy and not kept up.  I headed back to Gladstone and met Michelle and Brendan out on the fishing dock.

I sat with them for a while and Brendan caught this.

This is a Gobi.  An invasive species of the Great Lakes.

After a few minutes I started back to the house.  On the way I started to have some chest pain.  After showering it had not let up.  I called Michelle and they started back to the house.  

Michelle then took me to the Emergency Room in Escanaba.  All the tests came back ok.  The doctor did not believe it was cardiac related and felt that further tests were not warranted.  He also stated that I was at low risk for a heart attack.  He did recommend to follow up with my doctor at home for further evaluation.  He also said that I should not over do it until I see my doctor.

The rest of the day I rested and Jay Jay and Kayla arrived shortly after we got back from the hospital.  We had dinner, a movie and called it a night.

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...

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.
