Picture Perfect

We decided to go on a picnic. First Pat thought of Hartwick Pines but then said "How about the bridge?" If you live in Michigan that can

only mean the Mackinac Bridge which connects Lower Michigan to our Upper Peninsula. So we drove to the tip top of Northern Lower Michigan.

It was a beautiful day. Filled with sunshine and blue water and a Great Lakes freighter going under the bridge while we sat watching from the shore.

Even the not so smart tourists that kept feeding the seagulls helped by keeping the seagulls away from us while we ate our sandwiches. (I do have to say to the young girl feeding them that screaming while they are dive bombing your head after YOU put food on top of your head was a little crazy!)

Anyway we shopped for a bit before we left, stopped in Gaylord to shop and finally at Arnie's in Houghton Lake found exactly what we were looking for Pat's Mom for her birthday today. So we are on our way to see her now.
