BRONNA & ARTIE

Our neighbors from Gulf Waters RV Resort in Ft. Myers Beach stopped by to visit us. We had a good visit at Traverse Bay RV Resort and then the next morning we all went to Mabel's for breakfast -- Traverse City's best family restaurant for 11 years straight.

The day was very foggy, but we gave Artie and Bronna a tour of the lovely Mission Peninsula where we stopped at Chateau Chantal a wonderful winery with a view of East and West Traverse Bay. The wine tasting bar was closed but the staff were very hospitable and opened it for us to sample some of their prize-winning wines and brandies. Unfortunately the fog was a bit in the way of the views.

All-in-all we had a great visit even if we couldn't show our best weather.


Here we are gathered in front of the lighthouse at the tip of the Mission Peninsula at the 45th Parallel. This point on the Earth is the same distance from the North Pole as Bordeaux France, Milan, Italy, Mongolia - North of China, and the Northernmost point in Japan.
