Today, I packed some more things and fixed a couple things getting ready for the sale and inspection. I went to do some errands and then stopped in at Erica's, Danny's sitter. After lunch, the man from United Van Lines came and went over everything and gave me an estimate. Cha Ching! Cha Ching! Over $3000.00. We always had Ted's employer pay for our moves except when we were just starting out and we could rent a truck. Now that I am alone, I have to pay through the nose for everything. Bummer!

I had wanted to go to church with Ted’s parents but we wanted to get an early start. We had a long drive ahead of us. I watched Pastor David Jeremiah on the television. He comes on at 7am. I enjoy his sermons. He is also on the internet.
We got on the road about 9am. I photographed lots of barns on M66 as we went north. We stopped in Petroskey for lunch. We ate on the deck of a pizza parlor. It looked out over Little Traverse Bay new the northern end. It is a bay off of Lake Michigan. We got to Mackinaw City about 3:30 in the afternoon. We checked in and hurried to the Mackinaw Point Lighthouse. We climbed to the top and went to the museum. It closed at 5:00. We looked for the McGolpin’s Lighthouse but were unable to find it. It is privately owned and not opened to the public. We went to the Mackinaw Crossings complex of shops. They were having a Guitar Rock Camp Concert. The young people did very well. We went back to the motel and I changed into my jeans and jacket. It had gotten cooler. We were not hungry because of the big lunch we had. We looked out at Lake Huron and the beach at our motel. It was right on the lake with a view of Mackinac Island and the bridge. Lots of boats and marinas were nearby.
We went back to the Mackinaw Crossings and got a big waffle ice cream cone. We went to watch the rest of the Rock Camp after which, they had a lazar light show. When it was over, we returned to the motel and Don took a picture of the Mackinaw Bridge all lit up at night.
