Wow, great pictures Wes, thanks for sharing! I love the picture of the boys sitting by the campfire at night with sunglasses on!
 
Good morning everyone, today we have the biggest coral show here in Miami, Skellyfest. I plan to spend at least an hour since I have to work afterward.
Good morning Luis, leave the credit card at home!

I wish I could tag along!
 
Looks beautiful Rock!
We are up at Torch Lake. They call it the Mediterranean of Michigan. The water is SO clear with hues of green, blue and turquoise.
Look up Torch Lake.
 
Sorry if I'm quiet. We got rid of the kids and we're vacationing.

For lunch today I had a bacon cheeseburger with a twist - egg over easy on top, garlic aioli, and (get ready)


























Glazed donuts for the bun!

Good morning Rock! That is well above where my parents are from, Cadillac. It is beautiful up there! It’s funny I listen to a lot of talk radio with my commute and one of the hosts wife is from Michigan. He said he didn’t marry her he would have never known that northern Michigan was the best place in the country to vacation in the summer. Not that far north but a couple years ago we were at Gun lake for my cousin’s son’s wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. I’m thinking of taking my boys next fall to Lake St. Claire to do some small mouth fishing for a day or two if you’d want to join us. I hope to locate the same guide as my father and I had last time.
