Back in Ann Arbor

(click for a large picture).

This is not my boat, in case you were wondering. And not my car, either.

We're back - four nights and five days in lovely Frankfort, MI. We had pretty good weather - we went to the beach four days in a row. Saturday morning, as we were leaving, the wind was pretty high and the rain was starting, so we cancelled our planned One Last Walk and got on the road a few minutes early.

This year we went up to the Sleeping Bear Dune Climb and, well, climbed. We did some shopping in Frankfort, ate some ice cream, spent a lot of time at the beach, and only got a little bit of sunburn. We spent a lot of time with our family friends The Baroskos, whose rented condo was conveniently (but not coincidentally) next door to ours.

We wanted to hit the alpine slide on our way home like we did last year, but it was closed due to the rain. So we decided to stop in Cadillac at a fun center that had a water slide, mini golf, and go karts. We were going to try a round of mini golf as a make-up for missing the alpine slide, but the whole place was closed to the public since some company had reserved it for the day for their own private use. Bummer.

We had a great trip, although we were always on the go, and the weather was so cooperative that we didn't spend much time reading or relaxing. We can catch up on our reading this week, once we take care of all the "back home" chores.
