The Lake Michigan Circle Tour





Our end of summer road trip. A nice trip that
I would do again but taking the Lake Express instead of around Chicago.
The first photo is the Mackinac Bridge, the 2nd is Hwy 2 in the UP running along the north edge of Lake Michigan. The road runs right thru the beach which was really a neat thing .
The 3rd is Grand Haven beach , rated one of the best family beaches in the US. I had to take this for Gina, after she sent photos of some so called "best beach " in Australia. Hah, we got to see one too.
And #4 is one of the beautiful houses in Bay View.......Michigan

Then there was the Rockerbox bike meet......




What a gas. It could become a yearly visit for me. The diversity of bikes was really a lot of fun .
Nice to look at things beside Harley's

Went for a ride one day.......


Stumbled upon a car show in Kenosha.
Click on the picture and check out the name plate on the car.
Know why we loved this one?Oh, and it only had on rear wheel

1st Trip of the Season





We went camping at Calumet County Park. A nice place to stay,and we saw quite a bit of that part of the state. We plan on a return visit, as it is nice and close to home.

July 4th




We decided to try small town 4th of July, which was kinda fun.
We went to Waterford, and saw a nice parade, and the duck races in the Fox River

Oh, .....and Julie had a Birthday


Julie had several parties for her 50th birthday. This one at Asiana, a hibachi bar. Quite a show, and good company all around the table. Thanks Mom and Dad Grignon

Well, In June Uncle Joe visited.......




Ok, so I wasn't great about updating this summer.....so I'll do it now.
In June Uncle Joe came down for a visit. It was a great visit as always. And when he leaves, he always leaves great memories, and good feelings in his wake.
