Thank you for the birthday wishes, everyone :) I had a wonderful birthday in da UP...yeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaw :)
It was great crossing the Mighty Mac...no better feeling than that in the entire world ;) It's a wonder I didn't get a tummy ache, while in da UP. Of course, I had to start with a snack of UP fudge...then over to the pizzaria for a hoagie for lunch...because folks in Indiana do not know what a hoagie is. Then, when I stopped at the gas station to fill up my truck, I of course had to have a couple of slices of beef jerky that they sell in the UP gas stations.
Found a great place in St. Ignace that sells UP t- shirts for only $7...so I loaded up on those. All that shopping of course got me hungry...so off we went to get some pasties....and we loaded our bellies and the cooler full of pasties.
Before crossing back over the Mighty Mac, we took a walk along the shore and I put my feet in the Straits. All in all, I had a wonderful day in da UP celebrating my birthday. Just wish I could stay there forever and not have to come back to Indiana. Sigh.

A belated Happy Birthday to Sur5er. Just got
back from the UP myself today. Sounds as if
you had lots of fun and a calorie free fun time...
Did you impress your hoosier friends with
Yooper lore?
I'm lucky, I know. I get to go back to the UP
again on Friday, the 28th and spend another
three weeks.
