VACATION! Yes I am now on vacation visiting my Mother, Sister, and Nephew out in MI.
Saturday – This was a travel/Driving Day. Not very eventful.
Sunday – We stared the week off right with church in the morning (even though we were very late) In the afternoon Pat, Gabriel, and I set off to take a dirt road driving tour that someone had posted on the internet. After that we headded off to the west coast of MI to find the roomered musical fountian of Grand Haven. And a very beutiful fountian it is. Just after sundown everynight it plays Hymns and while displaying a water and light show. The fountin then continues silently on till about midnight. On the way back we stopped in the middle of nowhere to set off some fireworks.
Monday – This was Detroit Day. We went to the Detroit Science Center, Rode the people mover, Ate at the Greektown Casino, then walked down to and along the waterfront.
Tuesday – Pat had to work and since where she works has a pool Gabriel and I went swimming.
Wednesday – We spent the day at the Four Bears water-park. Then we went to the Ford & Wyoming Drive-in. A very large driving with many screens. We saw “The Hulk” which I didn’t like. ( and didn’t expect to) and “Bruce Almighty” which I highly recommend . It is both funny and has a positive message that is theologicly accurate. My favorite line is when God first pages him and he looks at the number and comments “Don’t know ya and wouldn’t call ya if I did.” Which is funny and sad because it is true of many people that the Lord is trying to page.
Thursday – Today I spent on the house. We went and got a new Craftsman lawn mower, cut the grass, trimmed the bushes, and cleaned the gutters. In the evening I went out to Goth night at the Star bar where I played some pool, enjoyed the music, and had some Diet Cokes. Luckaly the most disterbing behavior didn’t start untill I was getting tired and ready to leave anyway.
Friday (Independance day) – We went to the Kellogs Air-show festival for the fourth. In addition to the Air-show they have a carnaval, balloon launch (been twice and cancled twice due to wind) and the best firewooks show to be found in MI.
Saturday – A Free Boston Concert! Patty had some free Lawn tickets to the Boston Concert at the DTE music center. Funny thing though… I was lying on the grass listening to the music and starring at the sky thinking about how blessed the week was and that it was nice of God to bless me like this. Then I thought “wait a second, Maybe it is patty he is blessing and has his favor after all She is living in the nice house I bought and I am living in a shack.” No sooner then I thought this then a Good-ole Michagan boy leaned over my face and screamed ‘GREAT CONCERT HUH! WHOOO HOOO’ and sat down right next to me with his other drunk friends. To which I thought…. “Ok God, your very funny”
