We arrived in Marquette, Michigan late Thursday afternoon, July 30th. Since then it has been a whirlwind round of family dinners with all of Susan's relatives who arrived from New York, Detroit, Phoenix and the Marquette area. The weather looked pretty iffy because it was raining a little as we drove up here from Wisconsin and a strong wind was blowing. However, it turned out that the weather cooperated and the wedding came off without hitch under a tent down by the lower harbor in Marquette. The folks here have all said that there really hasn't been a summer up here this year. It's been very cool and the past 4 days have been no exception.
The bride was lovely, the ceremony was very nice and then the entire crowd moved back to the hotel for the reception. Josie and Tim make a beautiful couple and are two of the nicest people imaginable. The reception went on pretty late, but Susan and I called it a night about 11:30pm.
It's a beautiful view, but the water is very cold (only about 60 degrees even in August).
Hotel wireless network is very slow tonite and I can't upload any pictures. I will edit this post with some pictures tomorrow.
OK, the wireless network in this hotel actually works well. The first picture is Susan emerging from the Vierling Pub in downtown Marquette after lunch with Lake Superior in the background. I apologize for the poor quality of that picture. I am not the best photographer and it was taken on my iPhone. The second picture is the view of Lake Superior from the back yard deck of Rich and Gloria. The third picture is the front of their house. Absolutely lovely place.
I've really enjoyed following you guys on this. I have to admit I got really bored a couple of places when you were talking about trucks and the "mines."
ReplyDeleteReally, we enjoyed having you in Marquette. Wish we all lived a little closer
