Monday is our big travel day. We got up early have a quick breakfast and start loading the van. We have everything loaded and ready to go by 0940. Our route for our trip is US 131 to Cadillac, M55 to Houghton Lake and US 127/I75 to Mackinaw City.
We stopped at a Big Boy in Houghton Lake for lunch. It has been several years since I have eaten at a Big Boy. The food was good. We got to Gaylord about 2 PM. We visited with HC and DC at their farm. HC had invited her granddaughters, the PAM girls, to join the party. HC served ice cream and cookies. The stop was a pleasant interlude. We got to Mackinaw City about 5 PM. The motel we were staying at had a young kids water park. LA had a great time playing in the park. The adults had fun also. We all got wet. LA also took a dip in the pool. He enjoyed jumping into the pool with either a grandparent or his father catching him. We had dinner at the Dixie Saloon, a famous Mackinaw City tourist destination. It was crowded and we had to wait about 20 minutes.
The weather today was great. The temperature was in the 70s with sunny skies all day.
Ossineke, MI this date in 1938. Today GG drove the Mrs, Laura, Julia and Glen to my grandparents farm at Hubbard Lake. They picked currents and the final tally was 25 quarts.
