Day 22 Empire, Michigan

We leave on a plane to Empire, Michigan. We get to the airport. Security are being strict this time. I give my best smile. we get through and find our seats on the plane. They did serve us breakfast of bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles and toast. It is raining. The plane shakes. I think of every plane disaster movie I have ever seen. We get through it.

The plane lands and we get our luggage. They didn't lose our luggage. We go to a nice hotel. The rooms are beige. Okay. We unpack. We are going into a taxi and headed towards Sleeping Bears Dunes. Sung'manitu asks if we will see a bear. Lyn's a Witchy Woman says no. Jellyfish AmyJo-July 2/3s done and I eat Suzy Q Cakes. Our other members of our group are in another taxi. We see Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan. We have Lake Michigan in Indiana. My mother, cousin and I would take a picnic lunch and eat by Lake Michigan in a pavilion in the summer time. After that, we looked at Lake Michigan and then go to Chicos and Kate Spade near by. StephBee loves Kate Spade purses like I do. We are at the Sleeping Bears Dunes. We get out and see all the dunes. WakeUpAndLive and SandraLynn are way ahead of us. Krista and I decide to take our time. The dunes aren't going anywhere. I like walking on the dunes. I stare at Lake Michigan. The waves are calm today. I like this. A vender on the beach sells ice cream and we have ice cream cones. We go back and walk on the dunes some more. We go wade in the water. Seagulls come and visit. The one seagull I know. He perches on my shoulder. I feed him potato chips. I had some in my back pack.

Krista StephBee Lyn's a Witchy Woman and I sit on the beach. Sung'manitu is building a sand castle. SandraLynn Jellyfish WakeUpAndLive and AmyJo-July 2/3s done build houses in the sand. They turn out nice.

We all walk in the dunes some more. We were there a long time and we leave to go back to the hotel. We have a nice dinner of seafood, chicken and salads, corn casserole and some desserts. Tomorrow, a new adventure.
