My husband had the flu and I wasn't feeling to great myself - allergies are so bad this year and I have some stinkin' cold that won't go away. Darn it! We spent some time together anyway and we had fun the night before. We went and saw a great blues band, Michal Bailey Band. They tour all over the US so if they are ever in your town definitely go and check them out. http://www.michalbailey.com/
I am excited we are going to Mackinac Island this week to celebrate our anniversary. We honeymooned there and are trying to make it an annual thing (although I was torn this year - kind of wanted to go as a family but I think we may be back for a day in July). Well, we booked our room a while back at our island home away from home, The Murray Hotel. http://www.4mackinac.com/mh_murrayhotel Now I find out we could have booked the Grand Hotel for a little bit more. Darn it again! They are advertising sepcial rates. http://www.grandhotel.com/ It has always been my dream to stay at the Grand Hotel. Oh, I've had tea on the porch with my husband and stepson and that was really nice but I would love to stay there. They provide breakfast and dinner, which my husband's boss raves about the food (lucky him - he stays there every year). I have been telling myself that if I lose weight and get down to my goal weight (gotta have a goal and definitely a reward) then I will treat myself to a stay at the Grand... and some new clothes of course - you have to dress for dinner. Here are some of our pics from when we went on the porch. These are from a long time ago. I almost cried when I went on the porch because I had always wanted to since I was little girl coming to the island. Yeah I'm a bit of a sentimental dork!
Is he grabbing the horse's butt? haha
I love those pics. All this writing about and looking at pics of the Island is making me super excited to go. So I checked the weather forecast....it is forecasted to rain just about every day we are there! Double Darn it! Oh well, we will have fun anyway, just have to pack umbrellas and raincoats . As luck would have it Michal Bailey Band is going to be on the island as well as the comedian http://home.earthlink.net/~stumail/ we seen 2 years in a row (and they serve the best drinks at that venue - I got buzzed off just 1, drunk off 2 haha). I also want to check out a tour of the Haunts of Mackinac Island. http://www.hauntsofmackinac.com/ Can't wait...
