BTW If you go to the end of I94/I69 you are at the Bluewater bridge exit... tgo to the first stoplight past the exit for the bridge, and turn right at the first light, left at the next light and Tim Horton's is right there :D

Ugh, 7:45 am and it's been raining for over an hour here ... not a very nice day :(

I have to apologize.

We have been working 12 frickin' hour days for the past several weeks and I have been enlisted to work on the shop floor, instead of my "cushy" desk job.

I am currently on my 15 minute break and have been here since 6am, just like the rest of this week...

I really wish that I could be there with you all.

No worries ... it's been pouring here since 6:30 am and the skies are an ugly shade of grey ... with the price of gas I'm reluctant to make the 60 mile drive one way to figure out that it's going to rain all day and I won't get any good photos ... I think I'm going to head up there tomorrow when the weather is supposed to be better ...

Hopefully we can schedule another Michigan GTG in the future ... anyone interested in going to the State Fair?

The UP State Fair is going on now - even as we e-speak! I was going to head over there but when I got up the rain was falling, the thunder roaring, and the lightning blazing across the sky! So I talked myself out of the three hour drive, sat by big fat butt in the chair, and played weboggle. :(

did the same thing ... but only talked myself out of an hour drive each way ... still raining .. what a yucky day :(

What a wonderful day!

kaelva, her husband, son and I woke up at the buttcrack of dawn well 6:30am (well it was earlier than that but i remembered to look at the clock aroudn 6:30... and got everyone and cameras packed into the car and headed off... after a stop for gas and coffee... we zipped on over to port huron ... got there at 9:08am and sat down to wait for the other DPCers... at 9:45 i called blemt at work and she told me you all had chickened out ... as i looked out the wondow at the light rain i wondered if you all were right to stay home or not... We decided not and headed for the ships... the small ones first.. two of em that are docked on the river that goes through port huron.. one of em being a pirate boat.. the other a smaller tall ship... both gorgeous.. and the people on them willign to answer all questions and let you take photos all you want... the plastic shower cap i have made a lovely drizzly cap for the camera..we then headed to the other ships which were docked a short way away...
when we got to the parkign lot (our choice to drive there.. they ahve shuttles that cost a whopping $0.10 for a ride...)
driving up to the tall ships it started raining a bit harder.. and i checked the weather radar on my phone...the radio and the radar sayign maybe 20 minutes more of rain ... so we waited.. in the meantime jewelliancalled... said he was out of work ... were we there... and he was driving towards us ... he arrives.. and we went to eat at a cute little diner... :D

as we left... the rain stopped... and it was gorgeous for us to meander through some huge tall ships...

I am so glad we were patient .. and stuck it through as I had a totally wonderful time with Katie, Dave, PJ and Mikey :D

Pics to follow sometime tomorrow :D

I had a great time and will be posting pics as soon as possible. oh yeah, Di, I'm home safe!! :) You guys really missed a great time, and actually a pretty good day for pics, nice overcast for even lighting... oh well there's always next time!
08/19/2006 11:39:41 PM · #74
I'm so glad you had fun ... I completely chickened out! Hopefully I'll still be invited along for the next GTG ... Couldn't talk myself into driving an hour each way and having it rain all day ... it rained steadily here until well after noon ... looking at the internet weather sites it seemed as if it was heading that way also ... can't wait to see the pics ... I may head up there tomorrow afternoon if it's still nice outside ...

you forgot to mention the after-party at my house :D

where the guys put together my new grill and i had to slave over it to feed the hungry masses :D

anyways it was fun.. i'm glad we didn't chicken out :D

and yes there was an incident with pickles.. but you'll have to wait for the photos
