Trip

Dear family,  I know that I am not very good about blogging, tonight we are in St. Ingnace, Michigan.  We started out Monday afternoon and drove as far as Fosston, Minnesota.  We ate at the Dairy Queen.  It is owned by Rose Potulny's daughter and husband.  I asked about them, they said she had been there an hour earlier.  We drove from Fosston to Duluth on Tuesday.  We stopped at Grand Rapids, there is a school that has been made into shops, it is atleast 3 stories high, it is a fun place to visit.  We got to Duluth and got a motel room and then went to the Richard Bong Museum.  Dad and I have been there before and it is very interesting.  They had a book of handwritten stories of people who had been in the military and in war, it was interesting to read.  After that museum, it was getting late and things close there at 5 or 6, we went down by the wharf and parked our vehicle.  We went to the IMAX and saw a show about Huricane Katrina.  Sometimes I  covered my face.We walked around along the wharf, there were a lot of shops,  Again there was an interesting building that had been made into shops on atleast three levels.  Today we got up and started this way.  We drove along Lake Superior, and one place we stopped and went down to the shore,  Julie stepped into the water, the beach was really sandy.  Later we were driving by Lake Michigan on the right side of the road.  and tonight we are by Lake Huron.  We plan to go by ferry over to Mackinac Island in the morning.   We drove down to the wharf and walked along the shore and out to a small light house. I guess this is all that I can tell about our trip.  We are in a super 8 motel that looks out towards Mackinac city.  This area is very touristy.  Goodnight.
