Weather update: At 8:00am today (Yep, I got up later than my normal 5:00) it is 55 degrees out. I’m starting to notice a theme up here for what passes as summer weather.

Last night was a beautiful cloudless evening with just a slight breeze rustling through the trees at the Bay City State Park campground. The evening’s temp was in the low 60’s at 6:30pm. Barb tried out another campfire last evening. This one came out a little better than the one before, no doubt because she has had more practice.

Today we are off to Frankenmuth to see Bronner’s Christmas Store and the picturesque downtown Germanic village shops and buildings.

It has been a goal of mine for over 15 years to come and see this Christmas store ever since I saw a billboard for it on some God forsaken Indiana back road somewhere over by Evansville. I thought if they would put an advertisement for it on this out of the way road then it must be something to see. Now, I’m at the age where I don’t even want to put up a Christmas tree and have to question why I’m doing this. But I’m in full vacation shopping mode so who knows what I might purchase! Perhaps one of those “Leg” lamps like they had in “A Christmas Story”.
