Had an absolutely lovely long weekend up on Torch Lake with the Russells at the Johnstone Family Cottage. Drove up Wednesday night, Tracy took us to Grand Rapids, and I drove the second half. Got lost for a little bit but found our way via the iPhone and Google Maps and GPS. Just wish I had a car charger/mount to leave Google Maps running all the time. Otherwise, had to pay attention because of the possibility of animals on the highway. We saw at least one already hit deer getting pulled off the road by a cop, and a couple other smears that probably were deer. Sarah's mom greeted us, and settled us in at 2:30am. Did a little work Thursday morning remotely, went for a swim, a boat ride, ate at the cottage. Friday had adults only dinner in Charlevoix, and I was reintroduced to the glory that is oysters. During the day we wandered over to the Lake Michigan bay area. Also took my only shower of the weekend. Weather was cool, and got colder, and rainy, so Saturday took a trip down to Traverse City, lunch at Don's, saw a bit of a crit, jumped in the lake that night for the last time with Russell, even though it was a bit cold. Finished Soon I Will Be Invincible, might have talked Sarah's mom into an eReader. Very nice weekend, and lots of thanks to the Russells and the Johnstones for hosting. We left maybe 3 hours or so after the Russells on Sunday morning, and took the long way back. Stopped at a couple farm stands, Bear Lake, Grand Haven, and dinner in Saugatuck. Made it home about 12 hours after we left.
