We left the house at 7:00 am, but an hour later the kids were already sleeping.
We drove to Manitowoc, WI to take the ferry across Lake Michigan. Here we are before the kids knew that we were going to take the ferry. Actually, while waiting in a line of cars to get onto the boat, I was complaining to the kids about the traffic jam.
The SS Badger
While waiting for departure on a nice afternoon, we found the drainage for deck water which we threw apple slices down to see where they would shoot out.
Once the ferry began moving, it was a little rainy and a bit windy so we spent most of the time indoors. Dad “found” two coupons for free sodas (the kids kept going back for illegal refills with no problems) and we had snacks, so we were set for the trip. We even got to see a storm in the distance.
Arrival in Ludington, Michigan. Warm again.
From there we drove through Michigan. Right at midnight, we crossed the border at Port Huron into Sarnia, Ontario.
