Yesterday, Mark & Vicki came to visit us (from their condo in Petoskey) after the had spent some time trying to load things from their boat into their car to take home for storage. We played a quick game of cards and after they left we ate dinner and went to a movie marathon (2 movies!!!) at the theater in Cheboygan - our first movies in MONTHS!! It was a fun night.
We had planned to go to Mackinac Island for a couple of days, but Mother Nature dictated that we change our mind and travel to Mackinaw City instead. We left this morning from Cheboygan and had a very rocky ride (thankfully, on our bow) to Mackinaw City, where we have settled into our slip until Thursday when we will get a reprieve from the wind and waves. In just a few minutes we will join CJ and Dr's Orders for cocktails to catch up on their travels since we parted on the journey.
On Thursday we will travel to Charlevoix, where we will stay until Monday. On Monday, weather permitting, we will be heading back to Ludington - hopefully to arrive on Wednesday or Thursday. We are both anxious to be home and catch up with friends and family. Being absent from the grandkids really tears on our heart strings, so we're looking forward to getting back to collect many hugs and kisses!
