| Excited faces! |
We had a great day on both Lake Huron and Lake Michigan, waves were 2 feet with some clouds and spotty rain. We were lucky and missed the storms. We traveled 70 miles from Cheboygan to Harbor Springs. It is a great feeling to be back on Lake Michigan, our home turf, we were thrilled to see the Mackinaw bridge!

Harbor Springs is one of our favorite stops. This is a place for anyone who loves to see some really nice classic boats. It seems the locals have beautifully restored Chris Crafts, Bertram Mopies, a Trumpy, sprinkled in are some large Flemings and usually you will see the Amway yachts here as well. The town boasts some great shopping and several restaurants, including Tom's Mom's Cookies! We picked up a dozen homemade delicious chocolate chip cookies and they only lasted a couple days!!
This is a smaller town and the locals are very friendly and the marina is top notch. Crocket has lots of grass to run around and it seems the town is always hopping on the weekends. The marina dock is a must for visitors to walk and look at all us boaters. We usually like to sit on our boat and people watch. This time around we enjoyed watching a wedding party photo shoot while enjoying cocktails with Tim and Carol on the flybridge.

| So pretty! What a great background for this couple. |
 |
| Love the laid back feeling here |
 |
| Even the water here tastes great! |
We spent time out on the dinghy, or shall we say "Crocket's Boat"?
 |
| We were docked with spectacular views of the sunrise/sunset |

| But he's so cute, we let him swim...his favorite thing to do now that we are in fresh water. |
Our first night we ate out...
 |
| Aren't they cute?! |

Our second night we ate in! Ben cooked a smoked turkey, stuffed and all, while I made all the fixings for a Thanksgiving in August! Thank you so much to John and Gaby on the boat
Crazy Love for the turkey contribution complete with delivery and the run to the store for all items needed.
 |
| Ben had people offering him money for the turkey as he was bringing it back to the boat! |
 |
| My dad says Ben's turkeys look like Norman Rockwell paintings. |
 |
| And I wonder why my shorts are too small! |
