Don't ever let me go internet free again
Did you catch the mental blog stream I was sending out? 'Cause I blogged the whole trip in real time in my head. And, unfortunately, I've forgotten all the funniest lines.
Almost broke down twice and paid for internet access. But I survived.
Here's a glimpse of what you missed:
My namesake, spotted on the way up:
It was very foggy and sprinkling on our way to the Island:
Here's Iliacat and I, taking pictures on the island, when we were just generally damp and not yet soaked to the bone:
Cannon Firing at Fort Mackinac:
There's a few more (of the 307 I took) on my flickr space, including the artsier fartsier ones, if you want more. I tried to limit the pix for the dial-up peeps.
Oh and I made sure there was no pictures, but Iliacat and I got to swim several times ~ there's a cool indoor waterpark in Mackinaw City ~ and I don't hate my new swimming suit. (I followed your lead, Karen, and found a little swishy-skirt to go with the new suit) I figure not hating a swimming suit is blogworthy these days. LOL.
We had a nice time. But it's nice to be home. 'Cause blogging in my brain was tiring.
Posted by Kim at June 5, 2007 9:21 PMWow, Kim!!! That looks beautiful. I think I've found where I'd like to celebrate my 20th anniversary. If I can talk hubby into it....we'll have to look you up!!
Did you have a nice time?
Posted by: Christina at June 5, 2007 9:44 PMgreat pictures and I'm glad you got to go, and visit the water park too. How fun! Happy birthday iCat!

Glad you're back, though. :-)
Posted by: Rosanne at June 6, 2007 6:55 AMYour outing looks like a wonderful time! Was it a getaway for Iliacat's birthday? What a neat gift. The mother in me is wondering, though...who nursed Buzz while you were gone?!
:-) Betsy
Posted by: Betsy at June 6, 2007 7:28 AMRosanne - warning, slug enclosed!
Chickadee - it was a rare instance of having my youngest be old enough to leave ... I was a little nervous about being away so long, especially with my #1 helper with me instead of home helping, but they all did fine without us. :-) I don't know when I'll get the chance again.
Betsy - Buzz did fine without me, apparently was even in a pretty good mood. I have reason to believe he's not really doing much when nursing anymore, especially since being gone, LOL -- but it was the first thing he asked for when I walked in the door, and has been sticking to asking at his usual times. So I guess the trip didn't wean him, either. :-) Oh, and yes, it was a 'milestone' birthday gift. I made sure she didn't expect such a trip every year, LOL!!!!
Posted by: Kim at June 6, 2007 8:20 AMWhat a neat trip! I'm glad you had a good time. It's funny about Buzz. (thinking about Sam here) I would almost be afraid to go away even overnight because of the potential, so I'm glad you weren't uncomfortable.
Posted by: Shari at June 6, 2007 11:06 AMYour photographs are wonderful. You are getting
better. I am glad you and Iliacat had a good time.
I'm just shocked and slightly embarrassed to see you both in jeans. ;-) Looks like a wonderful time away together. A. would love to do that, but R. would be so jealous.
