Visiting Marquette Area



Thursday did prove to be the day for resting. I did not realize how tired Larry and I were . Linda and I did go to Curves and then just rested the remainder of the day. Janice & Ralph went into Marquette so they were able to prepare us for our trip today. We all enjoyed a wonderful steak dinner and then retired a little early .

Friday a.m. Linda and I went into Curves ( we figure if we exercise we can eat more)and then came back to the "Bus" . Jim and Larry were ready to receive their orders for the day. First stop on the trip was Christmas, Michigan and of course we had to stop and buy something. Next we stopped at the Welcome Center at Marquette and ask for the best place to eat lunch. Go figure, us looking for food. Had a wonderful whitefish lunch and then on to other things.

We took a tour of a working lighthouse and a maritime museum. Linda and Jim had never been inside a lighthouse. Lake Superior was really "kicking" today. The wind was blowing probably 40 mph so we saw plenty of whitecaps. After this we stopped at a Harley Dealership and did some looking and yes, gunslinger, some shopping. On our way back to meet Janice and Ralph for dinner and more fish we stopped so that we could put our feet in Lake Superior. It was cold but I have felt it COLDER.

Tomorrow we leave here and head to the "Soo Locks" for about three days and then back across the bridge to Mackinaw City.

I still have to work on Larry to get the pictures downloaded from the camara and onto this site.

Yep, get those pics downloaded, Larry! Give us a call when you're on the Bridge. I'm sure Al will love to watch you cross.
Safe journeys,
