Well of course I am NOT happy Mama...you did NOT TAKE ME....
Oh, hello there. Sorry you had to hear my little rant, Mama and I were "discussing" her use of OUR blog for her and Daddy's recent Michigan trip. We were also discussing my payment for this photo shoot and well, let's just say, there better be some chicken involved(then I may be a bit happier)!!
Anyway...let's get this over with as you might remember, Mama and Daddy went to Michigan back in July to see family. While they were there, they took a little ride to the Traverse City area, where Daddy spent most of his teenage years!
It was a drizzly day, so there aren't too many pictures...but here we have downtown Traverse City. I suppose all of the dinosaurs are gone now(because Daddy was a teenager a LONG time ago,
BOL).
I know this will come as a surprise to everyone, but Mama actually found a lighthouse in the middle of the country!
This is Mission Point Lighthouse, built in 1870 to guide ships through West Grand Traverse Bay(near lake Michigan). 
It was decommissioned in 1933, but Mama enjoyed seeing one of the Great Lakes lighthouses, and now wants to do a CeCe trip to see all of the lighthouses along Lake Michigan!
She better take us along!!
They also made another stop to visit the oldest General Store
Opened in 1839, Old Mission General Store was
filled with history.
Mama enjoyed seeing this Raggedy and Andy sitting in
a basket with another homemade rag doll.
Although a bit run down, both Mama and Daddy enjoyed walking through the store and seeing all the fun trinkets and antique items they had!
Plus, the owner was a hoot. Mama and Daddy said he told them all kind of stories about his younger days.
Ok, that wasn't too bad Mama, and you did pay a delicious hosting fee for my services. I am happy to say you have my permission to do ONE more Michigan post for Nature Friday but let's let Jakey host it, OK??
I hope you enjoyed the little Traverse City side trip with my narration, stay tuned on Friday when Jacob will be happy to show you more of the nature the pawrents saw when visited Michigan.
