So, today was basically my third day off in a row since we have just been travelling the last few days. Kyle, Camille and I were all given the day off and we were very excited to use it as an opportunity to go check out the area and even try to go paddle boarding in Lake Michigan!
The day started off with some sleeping in and Camille and Kyle headed out to grab a quick breakfast about 10 or so. After getting lost for a bit and grabbing food, they headed back to the resort to pick me up as we found out that we had to complete a random drug test today. We headed to Urgent Care up the street and got that done - with some major wait time on the part of the clinic, of course!
When we finally got that accomplished, it was just about time for Kyle to go play golf while Camille and I were going to go paddle boarding in Lake Michigan. We dropped Kyle off at the golf course on site and then we headed to Harbor Springs to locate the water sports rentals for the afternoon. When we arrived though, we were disappointed to find out that they were not renting any more paddle boards that afternoon. We asked for other locations, but it seemed that everyone had the same response.
Desperate to find some water activity to do, we started driving along Lake Michigan on M-119 and headed north. This road is known as the Tunnel of Trees Scenic Heritage Route. As you can probably guess, it was like a tunnel of trees on both sides of the road and you could also see Lake Michigan the entire time! It was absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to upload some pictures!!! We ended up following this road for about half an hour while enjoying our ride with the windows down, music playing, and wildlife running through the woods....it was such a relaxing adventure!
When we realized how close we were to Mackinaw City, we decided to head there and do all of the touristy stuff! We walked in Lake Huron for a bit and along the beach looking at Mackinac Bridge. Again, there are some pictures that I will get up ASAP! It was fun to just walk through the shops and enjoy the beautiful weather after all of the 100 degree days we have been dealing with!
We eventually made our way back to the resort and picked up Kyle from the golf course before heading to dinner in Harbor Springs. We ate at this quaint little restaurant in downtown before heading back to the resort for the night. Tomorrow, we are back to reality as it is back to work come 6 am! The break has definitely been nice, but I am excited to get back to the golf course and back to being busy all of the time! With that, night all!
