Up North-

When we go Up North

we travel along the Lake Michigan side

until we get to Escanaba, MI.

The water there is beautiful and peaceful

and just the drive there

calms my soul.

In Escanaba we found this cute little place

that has the most wonderful faux street visage

painted on the side.

It was so real looking that

MyHero was disappointed that

he couldn't climb the steps.

Crazy guy!After leaving Escanaba we head West

(and North)

until we come to Lake Superior.

We always stay at the same place.

We have been going there for so many years

that we have our own special rate...

but I can't tell you what it is because

I am sworn to secrecy..

And they might not give me clean towels

next time if I told you

what we paid!

We have two favorite gals there..

but I didn't take their pictures..

Drat & Darn..

NO! That's NOT their names

I was just swearing under my breath because

I didn't take their pictures.

Their names are Amanada & Carrie.

We love you girls!

And next time I AM taking your pictures!Can you stand it if I show you the view from our room?

You won't send me hateful comments will you?

Oh...sooooo relaxing..

That is Grand Island across the water.

Remember I told you that MyHero

was a swinger?

Yep!

He still is..

He can swing just about anyplace he goes..

he has GPS and can find

golfing spots all over the country.

Lord, thank you for GPS- NOT!!!

On day two we always take a ride to

Marinette, MI.

We pass this little place with a water wheel.

I'll have you know that someone almost

ran over us while we were taking this picture...

Even though I had my 4 way caution lights on.

Crazy Drivers!!! Don't they know a photo op only happens

when you are blasting along about 66 MPH

and have to swerve over quickly?

Sheeeeezzee...you would think I made them slam on their brakes

or something...

Patience, people, patience.

Blog woman in action!

And, the perfect end to a perfect day...

Do I need say more?

Yep...I can find places using GPS too...

See what I mean?PS- This is the ONLY Starbucks in the Upper Peninsula.

Do you want to know why?

Sure you do...

It's because MrStarbuckshimself...

was born and raised in Marinette!

So there is your little history tidbit for the day!
