Back in the US and in The Thumb

Sunday, June 16, (Cont'd)

After the accident, we continued along the highway through Ontario. We saw this sign for one of the all time ice hockey greats! 

This is pretty prosperous looking farm country.  We go through towns called London and Paris.  It is 77 degrees out!  There is lots of corn planted here.  We also pass through Wyoming and Delaware, at least towns named that.

After a few hours, we saw the sign to cross back over into the US at Port Huron.

The water was a beautiful turquoise and azure blue.

We immediately turned north and went a short distance before stopping for the day at a beautiful campground at a town called Lakeport.  John put on his SHORTS and went to test the water.

Skies look pretty iffy off to the north, but the dark clouds pass us by.

Who knew that you would find these kind of beaches on Lake Huron.  I have always thought of the Great Lakes as very inhospitable and industrial.

This could be Hawaii!

We are going to go up the "thumb" of Michigan.   I am on another quest for ancestors.

Our dinner this evening was something Chris had told us about over the phone.  He had boiled sausages in beer, along with onions.  Then he put the sausages on the grill, and put brown sugar on the onions in foil.  John liked the idea, so we stopped and bought the ingredients.  We didn't have brown sugar so we used maple syrup!  It was delicious!  Today was Father's Day and both sons, Jack and Chris,  were thoughtful in their messages and calls.  We are so lucky!
