Relaxing - Day 10

After the zoo, we came home to a good home-cooked meal.  We have eaten quite well on this trip...  The full kitchen on board has allowed me to cook like we do at home!  For example, tonight was spaghetti with homemade meatballs with apple pie for dessert!  Let's just say no one's complaining!

After dinner we rented a pedal car and drove around the park... The kids loved it!  

Then we hit the playground for a little more fun.  

The kids watched a movie and were in bed around 10:00 pm.

Another fabulous day on vacation!

Ludington at Last

1:30 pm.  We arrived in Ludington as expected but man was it rough.  The rain shower started maybe 30 minutes out of Frankfort.  We pulled on the canvases and kept it at cruising speed.

The swells were big... bigger than anything we'd done before.  So big in fact that at one point, our prop came out of the water as we crested a large one.

It was too rough to walk around in the main cabin (took me off my feet several times) so we had the kids stay up with us and tried to play games to keep them looking at the horizon.  Sammy showed some signs of sea-sickness but kept it together.  We pulled into port, pulled the canvases down for some fresh air, and Sammy was immediately back to her old self again.

We are staying at the same marina as we were on Monday evening.  Scott's parents drove in from their cabin and spent some time with us this afternoon.  We played at the beach, got some ice cream and then headed to the marina pool.  Grilled burgers and dogs for supper and then played on the playground til the Badger came in.  The kids had a great day!

Greetings Frankfort!

We pulled in around 6:09 pm.  Wasn't sure what to expect since I hadn't been there or even heard much about it.  But what a pleasant surprise!  Town is in walking distance of the marina (row of boats not stacked out on docks).  It has a small town feel about it... not overly touristy but just enough.  Really LOVE it!

We fueled up and headed to our slip to get settled.  The kids were itching to get some supper so I called in an order for pizza and we walked over for supper.  We bought our customary shirts (see the pattern yet) and then did some window shopping.  Of course we hit an ice cream shop and the local ship-themed playground.  The kids headed to bed for a movie around 9:00 pm.

Ps. If that's not enough, Frankfort has citywide free wi-fi... We love it!
