Convention is over, Now it's Vacation time!

 It's been a rather long week, attending a very intense convention from 8-6 Monday - Wednesday and 8-11:30 today. So that is why there have not been any blog posts for the past few days.  The delegates accomplished quite a bit of work during this week, electing 62 positions and passing 87 resolutions including several fairly controversial ones.  As you can see in this picture, I had a front row seat, right in front of the podium.  But Mary and I are now on a short 2 day vacation so I'm back to blogging.  

After the convention we headed north to Door County, Wisconsin.  This county sits northeast of Green Bay on a peninsula into Lake Michigan.  It's quite the tourist area, comparable to Mackinaw City, MI and Blowing Rock, NC 
My sister had visited here before and highly recommended eating at Al Johnson's a Swedish restaurant with a grass roof.  They have goats to keep the roof "mowed", but none were out while we were there.   We enjoyed our Swedish dinners.
After that we drove to the top of the peninsula and Mary took these pictures of Lake Michigan and Sturgeon Bay.  This truly is a beautiful area! 

Tomorrow we will do some more sightseeing before taking a car-ferry back to Michigan, then driving home on Saturday.
