Some Like it Hot

MIL wanted to go the Butterfly house on Mackanac Island.

Here we have crystalis under glass, and a couple of butterflies fresh from the oven!

Some butterfly pictures inside the main building. It was a very warm and humid inside, as some of these butterflies are imported from the tropics.

Finally we are on the road and finally crossed the Mackinac bridge, and it is a beautiful wonderful drive through the U.P. (Upper Peninsula)

Now don’t think the U.P. is just flat fields as it is mostly forested. A lot of the forests were replanted by the CCC during Roosevelt’s Presidency during the Depression. Interesting enough they are mighty protective of these trees, and a lot of people assume that California is very evironmentally protective. DH says that a lot of the people who love to hunt, camp, etc. have made it so that a lot of Michigan is still has large areas covered with trees. I will post some pictures of the trees later!

MIL and FIL decided we needed to go somewhere just so I could say I had been…

Hmmmm where are we going?

CANADA! I did not see a lot of trees, but I figured that we were plopped right in the city I could understand why. MIL and FIL really love Cananda (the wilderness parts) as they had such a wonderful time there on their Honeymoon.

Too bad we were crunched for time because MIL and FIL had some business to attend in the U.P. ( Thats the Upper Peninsula ), and alas I spent 10 minutes in Cananda just to turn around and wait in a really long line to get back to the U.S., but it was nice to see this sign!

Sorry if you cannot make it out it says, “WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES”.

The customs guys at both borders were really nice, and we had a really nice chat with them both!

Here is a smile to from me to you!

Sorry for not posting, but I have been busy with life in general. Fixing somethings I did not like about the blog ( I still have a lot of work to do, but I am slowly learning.) I have also been messing around with wordpress, and made some changes. Mostly the changes being minor, and unseen, but apparently I disturbed some people with one of the minor changes.

The biggest change is the location of links. They are still here, but they became unruly. I have placed them in their own page. Look at the right side of the blog, under the header “Pages” you should see “links”. That is where all my links have gone.

Thanks for being patient and I will get to finishing up the Michigan posts, since really I have only one more, and then to some restuarant reviews, and other hopefully interesting things.
