Friday, July 8

 Pretty day but hot!!! We exercised, had breakfast and then started loading up the car with stuff to take off Catrina. The lift out was at 1:15 and Catrina is now resting out of the water while James works his   fiberglass magic!

Started for home at 2:30 and took the rural route thru many small towns each having thee prettiest hanging baskets of flowers so abundant and healthy (always enjoy the flowers in Canada – they must use lots of Miracle Gro and have the cooler temps in their favor.)

Had a quick sandwich and coffee (hot for Mark; a mint chocolate iced yummy treat for me) at Tim Horton’s. The donuts were soooo tempting, but “no thanks”!

Going thru customs in Port Huron, MI was a breeze with our NEXUS cards. Great to be back in the good ole USA.

Stopped in Flint, Michigan and after checking in at our hotel, we went downtown and what a happening place – tons of people walking the streets and all the restaurants were busy, busy. Blackstones Pub had been recommended and we got a table outside (lovely evening) – good dinner…...tomorrow, home sweet home!
