It is Thursday morning, our 4th or 5th hot and humid day here in Michigan.  The weatherman promises us a break after a cold front comes through this evening.  I hope it rains good to thoroughly water all my gardens before we leave on vacation.  As I have mentioned in the beginning, we love to travel.  We will be heading up north Michigan to Mackinaw City for Saturday, Sunday and Monday evenings and then on to Presque Isle Michigan where we own property.  Hoping while we are in Mackinaw City to go into the UP to Sault St. Marie for the Soo Locks 150 year celebration and watch the tug-boat races.  My husband loves tug boats.  He would like to buy one.  I am not sure it is practical for our kind of  boating.  Then on another day, go the opposite way into the UP and see the pictured rocks and Whitefish Point, the Edmund Fitzgerald museum and the lighthouse.  It is absolutely beautiful north of Paradise, Michigan at Whitefish Point.  Lake Superior is all around you with beautiful soft sand and a warm blowing breeze.  Then we will watch the fireworks on the 4th, Monday evening, in Mackinaw City.  I have goodie bags packed for Alexis and Jameson filled with sparklers, cookies, a drink, camera, and other 4th of July related items.  As for Jonathan, he gets the house all to himself for the time we are gone.  Someone needs to stay home and take care of the cats.  Well, off to packing.  I will fill everyone in on our vacation when we get back.  Have a Happy 4th of July and be safe, whereever you are.
