The Adventures of Janie: Chicago!

I realize it's been quite a while since I've written, so it's about time I play some catch up. Since my last entry quite a lot has happened - like I'm one year older now.....unfortunately that's not something I am very happy about :) Another crew member had a birthday the day before mine, so the crew had a BBQ at a beach in Charlevoix. Since that first BBQ we've made beach BBQs a weekly occurance. We were docked in Charlevoix for a few weeks, then left and went to Bay Harbor (which is about 15 miles down the road from Charlevoix), then we were back to Charlevoix, and now we're in Chicago for the weekend. We've met some friends in Charlevoix, some locals, and have established a nice group to hang out with. Below are some pictures from the last month. I've been really slacking at my picture taking, so I'll try to get some from Tasha and Hannah for my next post.

Horse back riding on Mackinac Island

The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. It costs $10 just to go into the lobby and after 6:00 pm all women must be wearing cocktail/evening dresses and the men have to be wearing dinner jackets.....a bit pretentious....

No cars allowed on Mackinac Island only bikes, horses and horse drawn carriages. One of the dirtiest jobs in America is a horse poop scooper upper on this island.
