Thursday - August 28, 2008

64,872 miles on Trailblazer

9:30 a.m. - It is foggy and 67 degrees here in Holland, Michigan by Lake Michigan this morning. This motel does not have any "breakfast" only toast and jam, coffee and juice. So we are going to go to Denny's and have some breakfast before we take off for Mt. Pleasant. It is only a few hours drive so we have plenty of time. The bed in this motel was probably the worse one we had, plus we are both tired and just wanting to stop! hahahahahaha

10:30 a.m. - Had a good breakfast at Denny's and now on the road with still overcast skies. The only problem now is there is a big traffic jam here on I-196 north and another one on US 131 going to Mt. Pleasant! Oh well, at least we have a full stomach. We stopped for gas and it was $3.79 a gallon, which is what it has been all along in Michigan. In fact most of the time it has been on the high side. Talked with Lyle today and he said it was suppose to get to 107 today in Sacramento area and Cindy said it got to 105 in Merced and is suppose to be hotter tomorrow. WOW---- We probably won't see another 100 degree weather until June in Merced, CA.

1:00 p.m. - We have reached 5232 E. Broadway Road #100 in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan with still over cast skies and 75 degrees.

Thank you all for "coming along for the ride" and I will try and keep this blog up while in Michigan. It has been probably one of the best drives we have taken, but also one of the most tiring. Staying in a different state every night is a LOT of driving.

love you all and keep in touch
