A Three-day Vacation

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday ... September 14, 15 and 16

We left Monday morning and returned yesterday afternoon. We just went an hour up the road and stayed at the "old Thomas Edison Inn" now the Doubletree by Hilton. Here's the view from our room:

Monday was a nice, relaxing day. We began with breakfast at Leo's Coney Island, dropped off a few things at my cousin's house in Memphis, then ate lunch overlooking the river with a Wendy's drive thru lunch. We were able to check in early and go to our room where Jess did her favorite thing: lay on the bed, play with her cards and watch her iPad. Jon was on his iPad and I read. (I read a book and a half while we were gone!) We went downstairs for dinner at The Freighters. Again, a delicious dinner. I shopped at the hotel's store then we just did our own thing till bed time.

Tuesday we had breakfast at Cracker Barrell and then shopped before we took a drive up the thumb. We were going to go to Port Austin, but after an hours driving, we decided Harbor Beach was the farthest north we wanted to go. We had a picnic lunch in the van at the Bathing Beach Park. Thankfully, their restrooms were open. I had a good laugh when I went into the stall and saw the wall of toilet paper. I wonder how often they need to change it? HA HA.

Dinner Tuesday night was back downstairs again at The Freighters. We sure like that restaurant. 

Because of COVID 19 and the fact that The Freighters are only open for breakfast on the weekend now, the hotel provided Grab Bags for breakfast. There were bottles of juice, a granola bar and a muffin. That's what we had. 

We left around 11:00 and drove down to Cabella's. Jessie calls it the "small zoo". Then we ate lunch at Bob Evans. We were home by a little after 2:00. 

I spent the rest of the day washing clothes and putting stuff away that we used for vacation. A very nice 3-day vacation.
