Munising, MI Day 6 of vacation and Day 2 in RV

-

 Tuesday, 10:00am

Can you guess what we had for dinner last night? It wasn’t something you buy in Wegmans but something you hunt in Florida-no, not gators or pythons but wild boar! Cory and Russ went on a hunting excursion in Florida just so we could eat in retirement!! It was very good! Ended yesterday with a little campfire!

Today we went on a boat cruise touring Pictured Rocks National Park. What a beautiful area! Lots to see. It was picture perfect, an unknown treasure. The cliffs were fantastic to see with an array of colors created by minerals seeping through the rocks. Reddish-brown was from iron, white from calcium, blue-green from copper and black from manganese. That is your lesson of the day! 

Had a great lunch of fresh caught whitefish and trout and then bought some meat and dessert pies or pasties, a crowd favorite for a snack. Oh and we even had a Sasquatch sighting! We have picture evidence! 


And this is a smokehouse at the fish market.

Enjoyed some fish and chips at Cap’n Ron’s food truck!

On our way to Houghton, MI for day 2 in the RV!

Happy anniversary Sarah and Tim! Happy anniversary to Bryson and Victoria as well! Going near Matt’s hunting camp soon. Shelby and Jon-your parents say this area reminds them of Alaska. 

See ya down the road!!  The XC Travelers

A nice day on the farm. We fed the chickens, checked out Ashley’s gardens, sat on the deck and went out for ice cream. The Moore’s came to visit too. Definitely a relaxing day. We loaded up the RV with some good food and snacks so we will be ready to roll at 8:00am Monday! No more cute kid pics for a while, just retired people traveling around.  Stories still unfolding!

Oxford, MI - Day 2

Friday, July 11, 2025 - Day 2  Hey, we are back for day 2. We arrived in Michigan yesterday and spent the day hanging out at Sunkist Acres with the Myszenski clan. Nothing too crazy for 2 old retired people! Our Phantom BUS finally arrived with its owners in tow and we headed to Costco for some budget friendly shopping. We are stocking up for our long cross country trek with Brenda and Russ. We had to make sure we had some chocolate on board to survive 9 days together in that BUS and I can guarantee we did no binge shopping. 😆😟   Joey and Madeleine enjoyed getting to know our host family for the next 2 weeks. Joey, Papa and Russ played baseball with Joey and taught him how to wiggle his booty when he is up to bat. Madeleine enjoyed "Russ's daughter", aka Brenda and that just flattered Brenda. Madeleine is now working her magic on Brenda and checking out her bracelets, purse and all its content. I really think she is trying to get Brenda to give her some of her cosmetics...

Thursday, July 10, 2025 - Day 1 We, Dave and Carol departed Hilton, NY in our trusty Honda Odyssey mini van (which is packed with all our needs- Carol was a Girl Scout so hopefully we have everything we need). We even had room for our dog Olive. She is going on holiday to Ashley and Matt’s while we travel on our epic cross country trip with the Hermans. Leg one of our trip will be to Oxford, Michigan to stay with the Myszenski family for a few days. We will hang out with the grandkids and go to Sammy’s 2nd birthday party to the Moore’s house. The Herman’s motor coach RV, aka the Phantom BUS, equipped with a pull behind Jeep will be arriving on Friday afternoon for a few day visit. Then we will be off on a 9 day excursion to our destination, Whitefish, Montana where the Krol Tour Company will entertain us for a week to experience Montana to the fullest. But don’t worry, we have bear spray to keep us safe. Stay tuned for more updates as we travel. Oh, and by the way, we are now on a fixe...
