Summer Vacation: Day 9

Michelle had discovered that the Lapidary supplier that she uses was located in Norway, Michigan.  This is one of the towns we had been to on Tuesday.  Our plan would be to go to Norway and visit Kingsley North.  

We took our time Saturday morning and got ready for our trip north.  It is around an hour drive from Escanaba.  We located Kingsley North to find that they closed at 12:00pm.  We should have done a little more research.

Next stop was Fumee Lake Natural Area.  We found this location and discovered that there was no fishing in the lake.  That would not work for Brendan so I called off my ride on the trails there.

We located a fishing dock and did some fishing.  We spent over an hour fishing the lake.  Brendan caught a small bass.  I think there was to much boat traffic?

We decided to pack it in and stopped at Dairy Queen for some ice cream.  Our next stop would be the Iron Mine so they could look at some of the rocks that Brendan and Michelle had collected.  They were very impressed.

We made it back to the house and decided to start the grill for dinner.  After dinner Michelle and I took a walk in the park as the sun set.

I was hoping to get the sunset.  It was a little to late.

We made our way back to the house and enjoyed a quiet evening.

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 ...
