Celebrate the Summer Solstice!

Blog time 0750 Saturday sitting in the dining area at Fairfield Inn in Gaylord, Mi

Friday morning we woke up to bright sunshine.  Nancy started her intravenous medicine while AJ and I had breakfast.  

Ms P knew something was up when she saw us loading the car.  Luckily she likes our house/dog sitter.

Finished loading the car and at 0800 we headed out. Stopped at Panera for coffee. Next stop was a rest area outside Cadillac.  I think sitting in a car is harder on my hip than ridding my bike.  I was really stiff getting out of the car.

It is 190 miles from our condo to Gaylord.  We thought our reservations were at Holiday Inn but they said no reservations in our name.  Called my sister and found out our reservations were at Fairfield.  Checked in and then had lunch at Five Guys.  Good burgers.

Summertime and Gaylord is a popular vacation destination.  Traffic was really heavy.

After lunch we headed to my sister’s house, big weekend coming up.  Tonight Helen is having a taco bar for dinner followed by fresh baked pie and ice cream.  On Saturday Helen’s daughter Jennifer is marrying Sean Finnegan.  The wedding takes place on Sean’s farm located in Johannesburg.  On Sunday Helen’s husband Don Crandall is celebrating his 90th birthday.

At dinner tonight the Scott, Crandall and Finnegan family’s were well represented.  

Don had all his children attend along with their spouses and kids. Also several nephews from Homer, Mi.

Good time was had by all this evening.  We arrived back home at 2200.
