The Youp..

Have to say, spent most of today near Lake Michigan, travelling around Lake Michigan, in Lake Michigan, or a combination of Huron and Michigan.  I guess I always knew they were big lakes, but this was a dose of reality. 4 hours to get from the top of the lake to Green Bay, also on the lake.  Beautiful, clean, and as they say...no salt, no sharks.  But also no dolphins...

Mackinac Island is a beautifuk spot in the middle of a couple of these famous lakes.  No cars. Charming village where you land by ferry and the well oiled machine of the island works their traffic patterns.  Its a hilly island, with posh homes and condos. And of course, the ever Grand Hotel.  So, luggage to the Grand is shipped for you up the hill via horse and cart.  Everyone else who has luggage unloaded-you figure it out.  Granted, a room at the Grand start at 400 a night-least they can do is bring your luggage to the hotel.  Karen and I bought a 10.00 pass to allow us to roam the lobby and veranda. I did take full advantage-sat on the veranda in a rocking chair and asked the outside butler for a beverage.  I thought of asking for bocce ball attire, but probably too much.

Breathtaking day of temps in the 70's.  We arrived in Green Bay this evening-minutes away from Lambeau Field. We are staying in a hotel that advertises"'themed rooms". So, what exactly does that mean?  Spiderman rooms?  Leather rooms?  Brett Farve rooms? 

Goal tomorrow-cheese.  Thats it.
