My Holiday Of A Lifetime!

[meddling]

Well here is a selection of the 700 photo's I took while staying with frioends in Michigan!

I've never travelled before and never been away from home as long as 15 days before either - but I loved every minute of it!

Here's the aeroplane and one of them billions of squirrels around the place!

As you can tell this is going to be a loooooooooooooooong thread!!!!

Sunsets over lake Michigan - their house overlooks this!

 

[meddling]

Half the family on one of the local piers/boardwalk...I know a song about that.....

:- "

And Nigel the SCWT who's such a character

 

[meddling]

More of Nige - I wish Blue could have come - she'd have loved the beaches and no stickiness from the salt water as its a lake...

and a butterfly!

Told you this was going to go on and on..........

 

[meddling]

Some of the many sculptures...this one looked like an innocent bike ride until you realised they were all flashing or naked!!!

 

[meddling]

I loved this sculpture - called the story teller - he looks so gentle

 

[meddling]

And Chicago was amazing to a country bumpkin like me :lol:

I did - it really opened my eyes to travel - having never being interested in the past. The best part of the holiday was spending time with Tracy as I really miss her, she lived in our village for 3 years.

France in August! But that's more in a carers role to a little boy with Autism and Cerebral Palsy - but still it will be fun!

Would love to do Texas :thumbsup:

Well done...glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for posting your pics. I love the terrier pics. He reminds me of Stan. It's refreshing and stimulating going somewhere completely different to where you're used to isn't it? :thumbsup:

Thanks for sharing your pics Clair. I really enjoyed seeing them. I am pleased you had such a good time. I think the nicest way to visit other countries is to stay with people in their own home. You really get a feel for the lifestyle, don't you? I bet you'll be visiting your friends again.

Great photos and looks like you had a brilliant time. I've been to Texas and North America - great country :thumbsup:

I used to travel a lot but not recently because of not wanting to leave the dogs. But I did go to Australia last year which was fantastic. I'm itching to see Italy now... when the time is right :lol:
