Day 4 - Michigan

After a quick exit from the Nicotine Lodge, we headed across the bridge to Port Huron Michigan. Our first stop back in the US - was a Bob's Big Boy for a hearty breakfast. Nothing lifts the spirits like spending some time with the Big Boy.

The next stop was a quick tour of Michigan State University in East Lansing. The three mandatory stops on the campus tour were the football stadium, the Spartan statue and the Dairy Store. It was a good mid-day stop on the way up to Ludington (despite what Karen may tell you).

Our next hotel was a big improvement and this one contained a nice pool with a big waterslide. After we let the kids enjoy the pool and slide- we headed down to spend some time at the beach on Lake Michigan. We had a nice dinner at a brew pub downtown and then hit the House of Flavors for our second ice cream stop of the day. Anytime you can get two ice creams in a day - is a good day... Being on the western edge of the time zone was also neat - as the sun did not set until well after 9pm.

Up early tomorrow for the ferry across lake Michigan.
