a couple of weekends ago, jarrod and I decided to take a quick jaunt up to the upper peninsula of our fine state. Fortunately for us, the weather was perfect all weekend, sunny and in the upper 50's to mid 60's everyday. Unfortunately for the yoopers, we tore that mother up!
The Great Michigan Bridge of Dreams. I think that's what it's called.
That couple sure knows how to pose!
Fayette State Park; and old iron-mining town that has since been abandoned, but wonderfully preserved. When we arrived, there was only about three other people there which added to the mystique of what was, essentially, a ghost town (thanks for the suggestion dad and maria!).
Oh my, there's that lovely posing couple again! What a treat!

Happy belated Easter!

This was an old kiln of sorts. I can't remember exactly what for, but the light sure was pretty inside!
The bay; again I can't remember the name of it, but I know that dad and maria haven anchored there on one or more occasions. Oyster something-or-other?
Jarrod could hardly contain his excitement upon discovering slag which resembled his parents.

This was the general store; it's just like, it's just like, a mini-mall!
My, that lovely couple sure knows how to win over an audience!
Jarrod patiently waits for the doctor to arrive.
What, for the love of God, is this creature? We found it dead. It has gills and feet as well as the innate ability to creep into one's subconscious and remain there until that person is alone at night and feels something slip past their leg.
Jarrod waits for the mini-mall to open.
