Vacation: Day Six

Most of our group got up very bright and early on Thursday morning.  They took two charter boats out to go salmon & trout fishing.  Kaia & I slept in & then I did some of our sandy, icky laundry!


We were fortunate enough to stay some of the time with some new friends, Mike & Dorothy.  Mike took Kaia & I to meet the fishermen as their boat came in.




Here are both crews and their combined catch of the day.




Dorothy is an artist.  Her house is filled with her beautiful paintings.  Her gardens are so gorgeous that even though it was extremely hot, I had to get out there and take some photos.



We had a lunch of grilled fresh salmon & trout along with roasted new potatoes.  For dessert we had two kinds of homemade pie.  Yum.  I think it was the best meal of the whole trip!  After we ate though,  we had to pack up & head back down to Ludington.




We went out for supper & then walked down to the harbor.  We tried a couple of times to get ice-cream  but both times we walked by the shop the line was out the door.  We found another less busy place that was very good & then headed to our hotel.  That's when things got interesting.  I booked our hotel on Priceline and somehow things got messed up.  They had reserved a room with 1 king bed and a jacuzzi tub right in the room!  Uh-oh, that doesn't quite work for 3 adults & 3 kids!!  Unfortunately all the rooms were booked so there was nothing we could do.  Luckily we had our camping gear & some were able to sleep fairly comfortably with camping mats & sleeping bags!
