The drive across the UP (people who live there are called "Yoopers") was long but easy. Pat's cousin and his wife, Larry and Annette, have a lovely Lake Michigan condo around Petosky, MI with a killer view of the lake. We had excellent wine and ate at excellent restaurants during our four day stay. One day we played golf at "True North", a beautiful golf course. Larry gave me some golf pointers and all were very nice about my golf playing - as Pat said, I probably enjoyed the course the most because I got to hit the most strokes!! Another day we took the ferry to Mackinac Island which was delightful. On Thursday we drove to Chicago to visit Leah.
Leah's newly renovated co-op apartment is beautiful - what a good and big job she did. The kitchen is lovely and the uncovered hardwood floors look great. Pat and I went to the Field Museum on Friday and really enjoyed it. The exhibit on "The Evolving Planet" was very well done. A great meal in the evening at "Wildfire" and then home on Saturday.
