Saturday

We headed to Houghton mid-morning and walked around campus at MTU. Alex seemed to like seeing where daddy went to school. We went to the Seaman Mineral Museum - Ben use to take Alex there all the time when he was a baby. Apparently that early exposure really helps to develop the nerd genes because Alex was SO excited there. He kept running around saying "Daddy! Look at this mineral!"

We had lunch at the Ambassador (no fishbowls this time though...a bit early in the day for that ~ but they do have KBC on tap now and we did partake in that!)

On the way back to the campsite we drove over the lift bridge for Alex and up one of the steepest streets in Hancock then back around through Houghton and went to show Alex the apartment he lived in before we moved to TC.

The apartments look the same, looks like they are full for this semester and like usual during move-in time the dumpsters were overflowing. But I doubt they are having any bear trouble this year because the lot right next to the dumpsters and all back into the woods where we use to hike and snowshoe is being logged this year. I'm SO glad they didn't do that while we lived there. Part of the way we endured living in such a tiny apartment was that we "lived" in the yard and woods all around us.

It had gotten hot and was just a really beautiful evening so we hit the campsite quick to pack some snacks and towels and went to the beach at Misery Bay.











It was a really fun evening!
