Day 4

We woke up really
early today. We woke up at about 4am Alabama time and 5am for Michigan time. We did the same thing every time we were checking out. After breakfast, we got in the car and headed towards the lakes. When we were driving, Granna got a some motion detected on her cameras. It was a cat. She started making barking noises to try and scare the cat off. I think she eventually scared the cat off. On our way there we stopped at a town called Mackinaw. When we were there, we got tickets for a ferry to Mackinac Island. After that, we walked around the town a bit. One thing that we noticed is that there were a BUNCH of mosquitoes. Granna took a picture of a sign and it was covered in mosquitos. We started walking back to where we board the ferry. We didn’t have to wait in line that long to board. When we got on, the ferry, we sat kind of in the back and I sat by the water. It was really windy on the way over to the island. About half way there it got really cold. When we got there, we went to a restaurant called Pink Pony. After we ate there, we got back to where we board the ferry and then boarded it. One of the workers came back to the very back to tell Granna and Grand Daddy to put their masks on. I thought it was funny. When we got back to the island, we got in the car and went across a long bridge. The bridge was 5 miles long and took 5:33.36 to get across. When we got across, we just kept driving. We didn’t stop anywhere besides by a giant Santa Claus in Christmas, Michigan. After that we kept driving. We stopped at a place close to Lake Superior. When walked out on a wooden bridge and looked out at the lake. We only stayed there for a few minutes. After that, we drove to our hotel. We had a view of the lake. We unpacked and we got outside and took a little walk. After the walk, we got in the car and went to Khol’s for a swimsuit. We found one and then left. We went to Jean Kay’s for dinner. We had their Pasties and they were really good. After we ate, we went back to the hotel and back in our room. We stayed in the room for the rest of the night and just relaxed.

  May 26, 2021 Today I got to sleep in a bit before we left. Grand Daddy went down to put our luggage in the car while me and Granna went down for breakfast. They didn’t have a buffet like the other times. There was only a few things we could choose from. I got a muffin with orange juice. They had hot chocolate so I got that as well. They had sandwiches but you have to go in the room to heat it up. Grand Daddy got a sandwich and a bagel. After that, we got in the car and headed to a skiing area to see something Uncle Jason wanted to show us. On our way there, we stopped at a restaurant called Kick Back Grill on the river in Eagle River, Wisconsin. We had fried cheese curds there. It was really cold when we left the restaurant. We started our way to the house we were gonna stay at. Before we got there, Uncle Jason wanted us to see a skiing area. We drove up and hiked a bit there. We got a few pictures when we were up there. Me, Ethan, and Samuel climbed an observation tower. The vie...

My cheese biscuit  May 22, 2021 Today I woke up at 7:00 am and had a cheese biscuit. (I spent the night at my grandparents' house).  We started for Indiana about 9:00 am. I played on my Kindle and phone for most of the time though.  We stopped at the Tennessee line and ate lunch with Aunt Beth, Uncle Jason, Ethan, and Samuel.  We stopped at a Kentucky rest area and took photos there.  After that we headed straight towards Indiana.  On our way to our hotel, we saw a big clock.  We then went to our hotel to get our stuff out of the car.  After that, we went to take pictures in front of the big clock.  We then went to eat at Chuy's.  We saw a bunny and I named it Pedro since we were at a Mexican place.  After we finished eating,  we went back to the hotel and relaxed for the rest of the night.
