At the end of August, Mary and I are going to do something we've always wanted to do - The Mackinac Bridge Walk! The walk is a bit over 5 miles and is by no means flat since the bridge rises to about 200' over the water. Whenever we've crossed the bridge in the past, the topic of following the Governor across the bridge comes up and this year, we've decided to make it happen. The logistics get a bit tricky since motels in Mackinaw City want upwards of $250/night that weekend so we're staying in West Branch on Saturday night, then crossing the bridge and staying in Sault Ste Marie Sunday night (after doing some sightseeing on the way at Hartwick Pines and a couple of other places, before heading back south Monday morning for the bridge walk. It'll be a long day on Monday with a 1 hour drove St Ignace, the 5 mile bridge walk, then a 5 hour drive back to Dearborn, but Mary start school the next day and I'm back at work so that's how it needs to be. Good thing we're in pretty good shape!
As a "plus", Stephanie and Michael are holding a 1st Birthday party for Peter on that Saturday so we can go to his party on our way north.
As Katie has said " I knew you couldn't go 6 months without a trip"!
