We started our day by walking along the main street of Frankenmuth. It's a lovely town to walk in with flowers along both sides of the street. My DH bought a sign "Big Boys Toys" for his big steel that is home for many of his toys at the cottage...how appropriate.
We then drove to Port Huron by way of Sandusky(Mi) and Port Sanilac. The drive along Lake Huron was again spectacular. We had a very easy crossing over the Bluewater Bridge and into Canada. By the St Clair River in Sarnia, we stopped for our last picnic lunch. We had sea gulls dancing around us just waiting for any crumbs to drop and a view of large ships as they travelled the St Clair River from Lake Erie to Lake Huron. We had a bit nostalgia as we drove along the St. Clair River (where we had sailed many years ago) and stopped in Sombra for a break. Finally, we arrived in Chatham, where we were married many years ago, and proceeded to get lost on our way to see the house that we had built there. We stayed overnight with our good friends, Jana and John.
