We made it back to MI! For three years we’ve been waiting for an opportunity to get back and explore this state some more. We’ve visited here a number of times for family events in Bay City or visiting our friend Sally in Traverse City. Back in 2012 we had to cut our U.P. adventures short when we learned we were expected in Lexington KY for a special event. Tonight we are in Portage Lake Campground in the Waterloo State Recreation Area near Jackson. Since it’s our first Michigan adventure in the T@B, we’ll be able to add a state sticker to our map tomorrow!
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
