Mackinaw 2024
This was our second visit up North this year, but we didn’t have time to make it to Mackinaw when James was receiving his award. So we made a promise to get back up to Mackinaw and while we were only there for a day, we did accomplish our goals.
Lots of shopping and many of the stores have changed. There are a couple of Psychics there not giving reading which is unique, along with the usual array of tourist traps.
We stopped into the American Legion there (which is now open to the public, ironic since being able to get a drink at this American Legion was the reason I joined) and enjoyed drinks and chips.
A perfect day at one of the most beautiful spots on earth.
Watching a Tiger Win at Comerica Park
This was a perfect day in Detroit, clear skies, not too hot and NO RAIN! This was also a free Tiger Hawaiian shirt day so everyone got a shirt.
Plus the Tigers won. With the trade deadline approaching many were afraid the Tigers would deal some of their players, but most of the fans do not want that as it would mean more years of rebuilding. The Tigers got off to a great start then pretty much fizzled it away and are below 500 at this point in the season.
The next day headlines read “Skubal leads Tigers to 7-2 win over Twins in final start before the trade deadline”
2024 4th of July
Another great Fourth of July display in our neighborhood as the skies lit up most of the evening with some awesome fireworks displays.
Since fireworks were legalized in Michigan we have seen some fantastic displays that were put on by our neighbors, so much so we don’t feel a need to go to fireworks shows anymore as we enjoy the creativity of the neighbors.
James had a blast watching the display for over an hour. If there is an issue its that you have to have bug spray on or you will get eaten up by all the bugs, but other than that it was a great Fourth and a wonderful time was had by all.
