Need to lose about 40lbs is what that is. 

You appear to be well into your third trimester, so expect to drop at least 20 pounds within a matter of weeks.

Ain't nobody got time to lose 40 lbs when you have little kids.

Your bathing suit seems to be faltering - What's that sticking out of it?

Last time I did that Sea World showed up.

Telling mine that it’s Jason Kelce. 

Plenty of jokes in my mind with all the pics but rather just say thanks for sharing.

Early start. Went to the playground in bayfield on the water and gassed up, uploaded my daily update to autograph and set off to the orchards/farms in the "Berry capital of Wisconsin" also referred to locally as the FRUIT LOOP

For those that are unaware my wife's mothers family is from Ann Arbor, her grandfather Donald Peterson was a rose bowl winning QB. I assumed his season tickets because one of the uncles was tired of paying for them just to go to a game every other year (he's a sparty). To say we have deep ties to Michigan is an understatement. This is why my children have Michigan shit on, we are crossing the border into Michigan. 

Bought some fresh apple donuts, a fresh blueberry loaf.

Gunnar found an apple that fell from a tree and ate it.

Currently about 3 hours into the 6 hour drive to Mackinac City where we will crash tonight, board the dog (no dogs allowed on the island)

I am paying the catering company cash for a steep discount (10%) and it's basically the only way I did this party without losing money. Well, there's a little interesting fact I wasn't aware of when I planned this. There is not a single fucking Wells Fargo bank in the ENTIRE STATE OF MICHIGAN. So now I'm basically in and out of shitty rural internet trying to figure out a way to get 10k+ (exceeding IRS reporting etc) in physical cash. 

Called my good buddy who works at PNC. He told me they would take care of me. 2 hours later I have money in PNC (via wire) and cash ordered at the Ann Arbor branch for pickup Friday afternoon. Crisis averted. Thank god @BobbyB didnt have to mule cash for me across the country, which he so graciously offered to do. 

Now I just have to make it to PNC by 6PM Friday so we can all eat Saturday. 

By the way. We are fucking sold out on this party.

Now that's got me jonesing for some blueberry loaf or muffins.

Cheese curds were fantastic. Squeeky and all. Perfect. Wouldn't expect any less from a joint in Wisconsin.

Went from there to check into our little cottage in the north woods. Then immediately to the beach of lake superior. I took the plunge, water felt fantastic. No taste or odor, almost pure! Crystal clear.

Then we went and got trout, they were out when I got there and a boat got in and they pan fried me one right off the boat.

Made it to Mackinac City. It was a brutal drive, the kids were losing their fucking minds and refused to stop to eat so they were all hyped up on snack food. 

Pics of the approach to the gigantic bridge over the lake Michigan Huron border and bridge itself.

We arrived and were gonna swim in the pool, but they just closed it for winterization today. Ended up going to another beach on the border of lake Huron and Michigan this time.

And because I'm fat here's what I ate for dinner. It's a steak tips chalupa thing from some brewpub down here. It slammed and went hard.

Sounds like you blew through Wisconsin. There are lots of pretty lakes between Duluth and Mackinac, which btw was named after Mack Brown's favorite cookie.

We spent all night last night and all morning this morning before leaving in Wisconsin. We didn't stop at all the little things in between Wisconsin and Mackinac because there's a whole lotta nothing.

Elko thinks he needs to eat more to keep up. 

Immamac, before you get all distracted with the postgame victory fest Saturday, promise yourself to save all these precious archived in a reliable mefium.  Your children and their will revere your memory for archiving this glimpse of history.  I would pay big money for pics of our family trip in 1964 from Tuscaloosa up to Sault Ste Marie (crossing the Mackiinac Strait Bridge) over ti to Quebec and back South.  Good times.  Thank you for taking time to share all this.

Alright. It's been a fucking morning. Kids ate paw patrol Mac and cheese for breakfast which was not enough fuel to get us to check in at the Hotel, but damn close. 

We left early from the motel we stayed in and they retroactively decided dogs weren't allowed when we were leaving so they tried to hit us with a $50 fee. I told them to pound sand and take it up with Expedia. Boarded the dog JoJo who has been the best behaved on the entire trip (including me)

Got to the ferry place and kids and wife were in full meltdown mode already. 

20240904_093002.jpg

From the 9AM to 10AM time slot they will actually detour slightly to go under the bridge instead of straight to the Island. We got the 930.

Got a horse drawn carriage up to the hotel and snapped a bunch of shots. Didn't get one before hopping on but got one on the way down. Woody and Buzz were our horses. 20240904_100701.jpg

Check in isn't till 4PM so we are early as fuck and have to figure out how to kill 3 hours without a nap for Rafa. Found a cool arcade the boys had a blast. 

20240904_115254.jpg20240904_120500.jpg20240904_125108.jpg

Ate lunch in town after walking down and had some smoked whitefish dip.

Rafa crashed out hard on the walk back and is currently parked in the corner in the room.
