Michigan's Thumb

Cold! Cold! Cold!!!!!

We’ve moved to the thumb of Michigan (you know Michigan is shaped like a mitten, right?) and boy am I cold! Phaedra is lucky with her thick coat. The first morning in Port Sanilac, there was no outside water because the hose was frozen. Mom unhooked it the second night but there was ice on the water spigot. Our last night was warmer but as soon as we got up the winds started and the temps dropped. Glad that I get to sleep under the covers.

Oh yeah, guess what? We traveled around the thumb area and saw more lighthouses. One of the neatest we saw was south in Port Huron. It was a lighthouse ship that was stationed out in the Detroit River. We got to see that one plus the lighthouse that was under the Blue Water Bridge over to Sarnia, Canada.




Our last day in the area was spent traveling north around the thumb tip where we saw 3 lighthouses with a really cool one that Mom and Dad were able to see even though it was located 2 miles offshore. I do believe that these are our last lighthouses. Boo! Hoo!

Tomorrow we will travel and set up camp south of Detroit so that the folks can visit this big city. Dad wants to see the Henry Ford Museum and Mom wants to visit the Cranbrook Educational Complex. Maybe we’ll get to go, too.
