Food & Exercise -- 8/7/2007
This morning we had breakfast at a diner in Carlisle (where we'd spent
last night with my MIL), then drove all day -- ~450 miles. We're in Dundee, MI -- a ways south of Ann Arbor. We had lunch on the road, and ate dinner tonight in the cafe in a Cabelas store. Cabelas is a chain of giant outfitters stores. We don't have them in our area and I'd wanted to visit one sometime. It was really something to see, with hills and streams and stuff indoors, but I was disappointed as I'd thought it was overall sporting goods and it was really just hunting and fishing -- neither an interest of mine. It was fun to see, though. Tomorrow we will drive to Grand Rapids to meet DH's sister for lunch, and then will take a ferry boat across Lake Michigan. Ate too much today :-). Food: * 8:15 (diner): 1 glass orange juice; 2 fried eggs; 1 peanut butter cup pancake (order came w/ 2, but only ate about half) * 12:30 (restaurant): 1 glass wine; 1/2 lb. peel-and-eat spiced shrimp (whose preparation clearly included some melted butter) * 2:00 (driving): small "donut" peach * 4:30 (driving): another peach * 5:45 (hotel check-in desk): 1 mini chocolate chip cookie * 6:45 (Cabelas cafe): venison bratwurst w/ a little sauerkraut (came in a large bun but I didn't eat it -- just too filling); ~1/2 order of French fries; large brownie * currently (hotel room): 1 glass wine Exercise: None, other than wandering around Cabelas Chris 262/130s/130s |

I've seen Cabelas online (guys at work go to it for the guns, so I see it in
the internet surf logs). Your experience sounds like its very similar to Bass Pro Shop. We have those around here and the larger ones are HUGE with th cafe inside, restaurant as well as large faux rock sculptures with streams, waterfalls and large glass ponds with fish in it where they give flie fishing and bass fishing demonstrations. Pretty cool, but again, geared more towards hunting and fishing. Although they usually have a large woman's clothing section (mostly overpriced) with alot of outdoors sporting/exercise type of clothing. Big supplier of Columba clothing. It sounds like you are having fun on your get-a-way. Enjoy MI - its been many years since I've been up there. -- JJ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm walking to save lives.

Michigan is beautiful. We had a really nice lunch with DH's sister and nephew. We're now in Muskegon in the ferry waiting room (which, to our surprise, has wireless). The ferry will take us across Lake Michigan to Milwaukee. We're looking forward to the ride; it's a beautiful (though hot) day. Chris |

As a kid I collected a whole bunch of them and my grandparents gave me a rock tumbler to polish them. I do wish I had kept all those, as they would look wonderful in my garden now. -- Jennifer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm walking to save lives.
