Our last day on vacation in Traverse City was spent with Patrick, Julie, and Abigail. They arrived around noon so we first went out to lunch at the Mackinaw Brewing Company in downtown TC. As we left the restaurant, a parade was about to pass by........we found out that it was about Green Day or something like that. Regardless the reason, it was pretty cool to watch and there were many festive costumes......
And it looked like everyone was having a very good time.
Don, our personal photographer, made sure we got this taken after lunch.
The "walk through" to the parking lot......
Don goes to bike forms like steel filings to a magnet. ;)
Abigail on the bridge spanning the Boardman River, which flows through TC.
Just about to get into the car for the short drive to the Children's Museum. I forgot to mention Abigail is wearing a sweater I knit for her.
The Children's Museum is small but had many different areas of interest. Here Abigail looks through the window of the small playhouse.
Many buttons to push......
Don found an interactive camera/TV........
"Let me in this boat!"
Watching the bigger kids......
So many things to push, pull, or move......
No fear of heights.....
Patrick and Abigail check out the flowing water. This interactive display was a big hit with everyone.
Back at the lake house, Abigail and Grandpa check out something on Don's laptop............
After the kids left, Don and I loaded his bike up onto the roof rack so we didn't have that chore in the wee hours of the morning. I believe we left the lake house at 5AM Wisconsin time and were home in Madison by noon. ;)
We had a wonderful time in TC, as always, but it was good to be home, too.
