The 3 Zieglettes resting on the long trip<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/a><\/a>\u00a0It’s a good thing we all like each other!\u00a0 This weekend we had a very long and fun trip from Grand Rapids to Foster City (north of Escanaba in the U.P.) and back.\u00a0 Leaving Friday morning , we stopped at a hotel\u00a0in Mackinaw City just south of the Mackinac Bridge.\u00a0 We enjoyed the pool, indoor water park, souvenir shopping, fudge shopping (of course), and skipping stones into Lake Huron with the Mighty Mac in the background.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Skipping stones by the Mackinac Bridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And now a word from the official website of the Mackinac Bridge:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

What is the proper way to pronounce the word “Mackinac”? <\/span><\/h3>\n

The French Pronounced it “aw” but spelled it “ac”. The British heard it pronounced “aw” so they spelled it that way. Whichever way it is spelled, it is always pronounced “aw”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Saturday morning we did some more souvenir shopping and crossed the Mackinac Bridge.\u00a0 Third longest suspension bridge in the world, it is a year older than\u00a0I (Janet).\u00a0 No time for a trip to Mackinac Island, but the ferries had begun their season the same weekend.\u00a0 North of the Bridge we stopped at The Mystery Spot in St. Ignace where they say there’s a strange gravitational\u00a0phenomenon.\u00a0 You can see that\u00a0it’s a very interesting place!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pasty dinner at Mission Covenant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u00a0Saturday afternoon we arrived at our destination:\u00a0 Mission Covenant Church in\u00a0 Foster City, MI and the home of our hosts Pastor Carl and his wife Mary Beth.\u00a0 They had arranged for the boys to do some target practise at the home of one of the congregation families.\u00a0 Mary Beth took us “girls” on a walk\u00a0by a creek.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u00a0night at the church\u00a0we experienced local gastronomical specialty:\u00a0 The Pasty – meat & veggies in a pastry pocket.\u00a0\u00a0 We enjoyed a lovely evening with some of the folks from the church.\u00a0 Thank you for such wonderful hospitality!\u00a0 There were gift bags for each of us, and one huge gift bag for the family.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Sunday morning we shared, as Ron has been doing in many places, with many of you faithful readers, during both the Sunday School hour and church service.\u00a0 After church we were treated to a wonderful potluck dinner at the church, and more time to get acquainted with\u00a0some of the folks in the congregation\u00a0there.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the way home there was less time for tourism.\u00a0 But we still took some leg stretching stops on Highway 2 along Lake Michigan to throw\u00a0a football, admire the waves, dabble in photography and just run around.\u00a0 Crossing the bridge south to our side (where\u00a0we trolls live … we who live UNDER the Bridge), we were treated to a beautiful sunset.\u00a0\u00a0 Praise God we arrived back home safely, around 12:30 AM with fond memories, great photos and new friends who are partnering with us in minstry!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
