Well, we made it home. The tour was fun, but it is good to be home again. The weather was very nice at the end of our trip, so it wasn't half bad.
Tomorrow me and Norma return to work. I'll get around to downloading the pictures by this weekend, so I may have more pictures to post.

Trip home
Well, we are on our way home. We made it to Gaylord and are staying here for the night. Tomorrow, we will finish off the trip and make it home.
Molly has not been a good girl while we were away, she has had issues with Indy, her cousin. We will have to scold her when we pick her up.
I will post when I get home.

Day 6 and etc...
Well, we did make it to Wallace. It was a long journey and we finally made it. I will post pictures when I get back home, because I don't have my camera right now. The UP is full of dead zones, so it is hard to get on the Internet to update. I'm currently at Rick and Sheila's on their Internet. I hooked up the wireless router for them and now I'm using it.
Tomorrow we are leaving for home and on the way we'll be stopping at Fayette to see the historical town there. Then we will stop somewhere on the way and finish going home.
I'll keep you updated.

Day 2, 3, 4 and 5
Well, I had every intention of posting daily on the blog, but that did not happen. The cabin we stayed at said there would be free Wi-Fi, but I was never able to find it. And, the cell phone service did not work, so I could not use my broadband card. So, I am sitting in Marquette and updating for the past three days.
Day 2:
We went to Mackinaw Island. The weather started bad and ended bad, but the middle was okay and we ended up having a good day on the island. A little cool, but it wasn't bad.
Day 2 also had us getting to our cabin in Newberry that stunk. There was not Wi-Fi and the cabin was very small. The bathroom didn't even have a door, it had a curtain. The shower also only had a curtain. The website was very deceiving and misleading.
Day 3:
Day 3 we went to Taquamon Falls. Again, the weather was not the greatest, but it was okay. All and all the weather has been cooler than we expected, but we are in the UP so the weather can be bad. We actually ate dinner at Taquamon Falls, the Upper Falls, and the food was really good. We also went to Paradise and White Fish Point. That way we can all say we have been to Paradise. The kids put their feet into Lake Superior, although it wasn't for very long. The lake was 47 degrees.
Day 4:
Day 4 was a visit to Sault Ste. Marie and a visit to Lake Superior State University. Kaitlyn had a tour of the campus and a meeting with the nursing counselor. I don't think she will be going to LSSU, but at least she is seeing what other Colleges look like. When Kaitlyn finished the tour of the campus, we went on the Soo Locks Boat Tour.
Day 5:
Well, now we are up to today. Today, we checked out of the cabin in Newberry, and headed toward Munising and did the Pictured Rock Boat Tour. During the night, Kaitlyn was complaining of sore throat and her chest hurt. So, after the boat tour we went to the Urgent Clinic and they put Kaitlyn on antibiotics. She has a sinus infection. So, we are now in Marquette, we were going to go to Baraga and from there we were going to Copper Harbor. But, with this development, we are going to head to Grandma and Papa's.
Hopefully, I will be keeping the blog updated for the remaining days.

Day 1 - UP Tour
Well, it's day 1 of our UP Tour. Today we drove to St. Ignace from home and went to the Mystery Spot. It's been a long time since I've been there, and now I remember why. It was OK, but for some reason I thought it was much bigger. Patrick was fascinated by it.
We made it back to the hotel, The Budget Inn in St. Ignace, and then we went swimming.
Tomorrow we are going to the island. Weather is calling for rain, so we'll see how that works.
I tried to upload pictures, but for some reason, the computer won't read my camera. Hopefully I will fix that tomorrow and we will have pictures.

July Update
Here are pictures of us camping. We went to Interlochen, near Traverse City, and Billy and Jo provided their camper for us to use. We only went for a long weekend.
Then we went to Becky and Jon's for a Fourth of July Party. Here are some pictures from that event.
Kaitlyn, Norma and two of Kaitlyn's friends and their mom, went to the Jonah's Brothers concert at DTE Energy Theatre. It was very crowded and they only had lawn seats, but the girls had fun. They got to sign the tour bus, along with a million other girls.
Next week, we are starting our UP tour. We will be going to Mackinaw Island, Taquamon Falls, Sault Ste. Marie, Paradise, Christmas, Pictured Rocks, Marquette, Houghton, Copper Harbour, and them to Wallace to visit family. We are taking ten days to drive around the UP and site see. Hopefully, I will be able to update the blog as we go. It all depends if I can dial in or not.
