The tour is over

.

The day after we went through we had lunch in town and that is an observation platform over the American Lock.

We watched this freighter go through the lock from the observation deck.  It took about 20 minutes.

Then we watched a tour boat like we had been on go through the lock.

And this itty bitty boat

From Munising we took a tour of Pictured Rock on Lake Superior.

A light house that was built in the 1800's.

This is like the boat we were on.

They do weddings up there.

Rocks fall off the cliff like that.

Look how the trees and turf fall down the ledge.

We got our boat into this cove.

Looks like a prow of a ship huh?

It was all beautiful.

The Big Mac Bridge

Guess who?  This was our second trip across the bridge. We went both ways. It  is wonderful.

Back in Lower Michigan and the first night we went to a logging show. The next day your dad went to Mackinac Island ( no photos) I was sick and sat that one out.

Driving down to Frankenmuth we stopped to see the Cross in the Woods.

I went to a huge Christmas store Bonner's.  It's 5 football fields big.  It was overwhelming to me.

We took a paddle wheel boat on the Cass river yesterday.

We drove the car across that covered bridge to get to the parking lot for the boat.

The wild life we saw were turtles sunning themselves on logs.  The big one is a soft-shelled turtle.

we are going to stay in Michigan for about another week to rest a bit.  That's all for now we'll be better at blogging now that we won't be so busy.  Talk to you soon.

Love, Mom and Dad
