We got to Michigan on Sunday night. Monday we went up to Mackinaw City. I love the bridge!
The bay between Harbor Springs and Petoskey is frozen over. This is just of the bay between Harbor and Harbor Point. I'd never seen ice sail boats before. The ice was smooth because a recent thaw had melted the snow on top. Made for a very big ice rink!
When I was a kid the docks would get taken up in the winter so they wouldn't get smashed up by the ice. Now they have "bubblers" to keep the water from freezing near the docks.
We drove out along Wequetonsing and saw this ridge of ice that forms between Weque and Harbor Point- the line where the protection of the bay ends.
We went to Sturgeon Bay. The sand dunes still look wonderful!
More sand dunes. No- we didn't climb them this time!
We went to this beach so many times. We have old videos of the older kids jumping off the hills of sand along here.
Jeff is out on the water. It was about 28 degrees, but with the bitter wind, it must have been in the single digits.
Just so you don't think that all the drama comes from my side of the family!!!
If you look really closely you can see land across the way. Waugashanks Point is where Don and Dad used to fish. Long way to go for a small amount of time!
No I really wasn't warm at all. We really didn't stay very long. But had to see it.
The grass at Sturgeon Bay brings back so many memories. Looks like this might be the time to miss the poison ivy!
On the way out we saw this Eagle standing guard.
This is the Redpath Presbyterian church in Cross Village where Aunt Isadora and Uncle Frank were married. They were the first couple married there in 1925.
These windows aren't the typical stained glass.
Don takes his dog Rasheed for a walk at least once a day.
My cousin Mick Heinz and wife Maddy!
A bit of interesting news. The old Presbyterian Church that I grew up going to, was bought by a private person who built a home that allegedly was worth 3 million dollars. This front is all that is left of it after a fire destroyed it this last year.
The building at the public beach.
Same building but less light and more water.
We left Don's on Monday morning. It was snowing lightly.
