I agree about the suit, although for some reason it doesn't seem as bad as those tiny two person subs!

This has been ...Your sunflower photos are gorgeous! This has been on our list for years, so I'm enjoying reading about your adventures and gathering ideas. The museum looks fascinating, and the Native American mannequin doesn't seem creepy to me, although it does look it might have come from Madam Tussaude. The Newt Suit, however, is creepy! Makes me hyperventilate just thinking about being cooped up in something like that. <br />I've been leery about the skeeters in Michigan, so it's good to hear that they haven't been a problem.

I agree about the mannequin. When I saw his pic in Linda's blog post I thought he had to be a real guy who would get up and walk away later. Seeing it in person looking just the same added to the "weird" factor. Even up close you swear that's real skin!!!Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-79714403288463548712018-08-11T07:18:27.083-07:002018-08-11T07:18:27.083-07:00When I published I told Bill I'd be in trouble...When I published I told Bill I'd be in trouble for no fluffy pics :-)) We've seen all the lakes now as well, and I agree they are all wonderful.

Next time I'll tell them we know you :-) Thankfully, no mosquitos at the falls or anywhere else at that stop.

The Soo Locks are amazing!! I'm sure we saw the same ships you did as they passed us in Clayton either coming or going:) I am sorry we didn't make the drive up to the Shipwreck Museum. Just darn! Yes, that is one very realistic mannequin! Creepy! Have a great time in Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes and with Jim and Diana!

Guess they liked me better, I came from the south and they never charged me anything. Is it the Canadian Toll? Did you tell them you weren’t? I remember well the clear waters of Michigan and all those beautiful stones not to mention so many lighthouses which I also love love love. Thanks for the Native American history. The Edmund Fitzgerald was a sad story and a major one for the people of the area. So how were the mosquitoes at Taquamanon Falls? Guess they weren’t too bad if the people are swimming. We had to wear full body netting and leave after one day when they even invaded the motor home. You have to read that post if you never have. Love those pasties but try as I might, I cannot make mine taste like they do in the UP.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-83288282195916617232018-08-10T08:10:07.820-07:002018-08-10T08:10:07.820-07:00I love how all the buildings are included!I love how all the buildings are included!Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-85452374354089912702018-08-10T08:08:55.700-07:002018-08-10T08:08:55.700-07:00We've just scratched the surface of Northern M...We've just scratched the surface of Northern Michigan and are amazed at how beautiful and rural it is here.Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-14598534816965494222018-08-10T06:11:20.995-07:002018-08-10T06:11:20.995-07:00Michigan has never been on my radar but you guys a...Michigan has never been on my radar but you guys are making me wonder!!
