Weather update: Temp at 6:00am is 52 degrees. Overnight low was supposed to dip into the 40’s but I guess summer is not yet ready to call it quits… I would like to apologize from an earlier email where I stated this was the “summer” vacation. Sorry for misleading everyone.
Now this is more like it. Yesterday went shopping in Mackinac and made just all kinds of pointless purchases. But then that’s what one does on vacation, right? Frank will be pleased to know that I have acquired a new sunny day hat and I won’t have to be wearing my booney hat anymore. This one is made in Canada and is called “The Tilley”. It’s guaranteed for life not to wear out. Very stylish and the girls up here in Mackinac are just going wild. Check it out at www.tilley.com
Last night we had our first campfire. Campfires are Barb’s department as she just loves them. As we were sitting in the dark watching the faint embers glow Barb asked “Why don’t we have more campfires when we go out?” I explained to her that in Kentucky during July and August, campfires and the heat given off are not something one usually gets excited about. Barb just sighed and continued stirring her campfire with the ice scraper.
After about an hour and a half, the fire was just not giving enough heat so we went inside. Did I mention that the camper has a FURNACE?! Thank God for the furnace.
Today is the day we go down to the docks and take the ferry ride over to Mackinac Island. I’m sure more shopping is on the agenda for today. They have a lot of fudge shops up here.
