Summer Vacation: Day 7, Rest!

We woke up and as predicted it was raining. Michelle made biscuits and gravy so the kids would have a full stomach when they hit the road. I put in a movie and we kicked back. After the movie was done Michelle said that she would like a Pasty. So we showered and headed out to find Pasty's. We stopped and mailed mom a post card and then headed back to Escanaba.

We stopped at Gram's Pasty's for lunch. After Pasty's we went back to the public beach. I managed to get a few pictures.

Storm is approaching.

The wall of rain could be seen coming at us over the bay.

I grabbed Brendan and Michelle. We got in the van and slowly drove toward the the beach that Michelle had been on the evening before. We stopped at the Marina restrooms and by the time we were done there the storm had passed over. So it was time to visit the beach.

The lighthouse has been fully restored.

Michelle and Brendan did some rock hunting while I did a little exploring. We then returned to the beach where we had started.

The storm passed and it was a beautiful day!

I stopped and checked out the bike shop in Escanaba. It was small but very clean and nice. They are a Cannondale, Giant and Trek dealer. We then stopped for ice cream when we got back to Gladstone and headed back to the house for the night.

Tomorrow we will be heading to Marquette to visit Raymond and his family.

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...

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...
