From Michigan to Milwaukee as the Crow Flies



Ron got home from a weekend with Amy almost a week ago now. He took his own camera along and got some nice shots. I almost feel like I got to go along...almost. Well he did bring me back a taste of Michigan anyway, so it was almost as nice. But here he is on the ferry from Michigan to Milwaukee. He had to get a reservation a few days before and homeland security had to do an inspection so he had to be there 45 min. ahead of time, but I think he enjoyed the trip. It actually saved him quite a bit of time in the end. It was a 4 hour boat ride with no traffic. He didn't have to go around the end of the lake and through Chicago. So he made it home by 9:30 the same night- 14 hours!

Sioux Falls Bike Trip

Bike trip to Sioux Falls on Sunday. One very windy day. CAn't say too much about our planning. I guess if we could predict the weather then plan for our activities we'd be the weather men. Oh well. I did 12 miles. But my ride wasn't the longest, that went to the 14 mile trip. Now next weekend we'll be doing another biking round and we'll see if I do any better. But it's fun to be with friends.

How's this for a resting spot? Downtown Sioux Falls. The day was beautiful for sitting in a chair at the edge of the water.
