We started our vacation Thursday evening at 9pm and drove all night. We hit bad traffic in Minneapolis, we were so worried we weren't gonna make our ferry. We arrived in plenty of time, 5 am for a departure of 6 am. We tried to let Jaden sleep as long as possible before waking him.
We weren't able to go on deck until we were almost at our destination. It was too windy. Jaden took a picture of me as we were getting ready to dock.
Stan was quite content remaining below till we docked, but Jaden was insistent that he come out into the sunshine. It took 2 1/2 hrs to cross Lake Michigan.
It was then another 8 hours from Muskeegon MI to Niagara Falls Ontario Canada. All Jaden wanted to do was get to the hotel and swim.
The Maid of the Mist was awesome. It wasn't as expensive as I expected. We loved it!!!
Arlene and Jaden.
Stan and Jaden on the Maid of the Mist. Thank goodness they distribute poncho's, you get very, very wet.
Ummmm....cookies. When I tell people here in Minnesota that we have cookies at the weddings out East, they are shocked and wonder why.
Sisters: Arlene and Lisa.
The bride and groom: Erin and Gary.
My sister Lynn dancing with her son Gary. It was such a nice wedding.
Jaden and Arlene at the sacred grove. These pictures are out of order. We went to the pageant before attending the wedding.
At the top of the hill behind the stage at the pageant. Awesome cast! Awesome costumes! It was amazing.
