When we scheduled this trip to Michigan, I wanted to come in particular because I want to kayak to Turnip Rock. As you can see from this pic, the wind was really high this weekend (Lake Huron doesn’t usually have white caps and waves! )High winds doesn’t make for safe kayaking so instead we explored other things in the area.

We headed over to the other side of the thumb, to a cute town called Caseville. Well that’s the official name. It’s also referred to as Key North. They host a Jimmy Buffet themed Cheeseburger Festival for 10 days each August. The crowds were crazy! Like Big E crazy. But we had a good time and some good food, once we found a place to park.

There was supposed to be a sand sculpture contest on Saturday but it was cancelled because of the wind. But instead we got an excellent show from the kite boarders. I’ve never seen this in person before. It was amazing to watch. I took lots of video but I can’t seem to upload those to the blog. So this picture will have to do. As you can see in the picture, this guy is about 10 feet off the surface of the water. And he definitely wasn’t the highest we saw. I’ll stick to watching!

Other than our day in Caseville, we’ve been just hanging out in town mostly. We enjoy riding our bikes to the beach when we’re done with work and having a drink together watching the people, birds and water. We’ve found a few really good restaurants and met some nice people who gave us tips for some more. Are we turning into foodies?

I’m not sure if we’ve earned the foodie title but we are those crazy cat people! Our cat Smore has always been the adventurous one. Without Boo, she has to put up with the added attention but she also gets more exploring in with her new harness and leash. I promise I won’t be offended if you look the other way when you see us at the campground walking our cat!

Since we’re on the subject of politics 😉 I have just one thing to add. I don’t know if windmills are the solution to our energy and climate issues but there is just something about them that fascinates me. I just can’t seem to get the perfect picture of them. IDK, maybe the next one will be perfect. Lol.
