Sunday, after an outdoor service on Great Traverse Bay, we drove to Munising in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Before crossing 
the bridge, we visited Fort Michilimackinac, a nicely restored fort built by the French in the early 1700's. They should give free passes to anyone who can say the name. It has a Piquet house,which may actually be what Peggar (Judy's grandmother's name) started out as in France.
Judy loved the trip over the beautiful bridge but it was a little too high for Bill. The trip through the Upper Peninsula was incredibly boring. Lots of scrubby trees and not even a curve in the road for many miles. However, since we had left the cherry growing region, we started eating Mackinaw City fudge.
This morning we took a boat trip to see Picture Rocks National Lakeshore. This is Bill's second national park site on the trip. It was pretty but not too exciting. Lake Superior was quite rough and chilly. After a very warm day yesterday, the weather has turned cooler but is still very dry. We love hearing everyone's comments. It makes us feel less out of circulation.

Hi Mom and Dad! How do you pronounce Michilimacinac? Mom looks well..I'm glad to see she's surviving all of the camping. We are setting up tonight for Libby's birthday slumber party. She is going to have three friends over tonight. Love, Sarah
We had a good time in Maine. We visited Old Sturbridge Village on the way home. Jack, Greg and I enjoyed it, but the David and Thomas felt we left the children's area too soon.
Hi Bill & Judy, I love reading your commentary. It's preparing me for my new life in Michigan. Is it much like Maine? Love, Terri PS..any word on Oct. 5th?
O my! What a charmed life you two now live. I'm very envious! Looking forward to your continued tales, and your pictures are delightful. As David would say, "A story, a story." God's best, Fae
