Mom and Grandma's Visit

I've been down with the flu ... so no new pictures. But I like the idea of catching up on the pictures from this summer, so these ones are from when Mom and Grandma came up to visit. I think the highlight of the trip was the boat trip that we took that showed us a bunch of lighthouses in Lake Huron. Here is a picture of Mom and Grandma ready to leave on the boat.

They took us under the Mackinaw Bridge first ... so I can say I have been under the bridge, but not over it yet! The Mackinaw Bridge connects the Upper and Lower Peninsula's of Michigan. It actually had it's 50th anniversary this year and got quite a bit of attention. Mike Rowe even came up and filmed a section of Dirty Jobs on it this year ... then he went over to Mackinaw Island to film the next segment about picking up horse poop.

Here is one of the best pictures I took of the lighthouses we saw.
And, one more picture that my mom took becuase she liked the look of the old train station down at the waterfront that they turned into a historical museum. The museum was really pretty interesting. I learned Ernest Hemmingway grew up on Walloon Lake and lots about carrier pidgeons.
