DAY 14 SUNDAY

Long as i remember
the rain been comin' down.
Clouds of myst'ry pourin'
confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages,
tryin' to find the sun;
And i wonder, still i wonder,
who'll stop the rain.
John Fogerty

This would be the perfect day to stay indoors, watch a movie, read a book, or sit by the fire. Low clouds, cool temps and a steady rain with a forecast of more of the same all day. We however are in a Days Inn south of Toledo with a bar that doesn't open until eight pm. Oh well time to suit up and separate the men from the boys.

Headed north in the rain, continued north in the rain, stopped for lunch somewhere in the rain, got gas in the rain. Then suddenly the rain stopped and it was not bad out actually started to dry out and enjoy the day, new that couldn't last. The air turned cold and the wind started to blow just before we reached Saginaw Michigan. Decided to call it a night in Saginaw at a great Holiday Inn with an indoor hot tub/pool made it an early day.

On the plus side we are all in safe, stayed fairly dry, and I had time to post some of Al's pictures. just click on Trip photos at outsidetheframe.org and look for Al's 2011.

No rain here but we stayed in to grade papers with Genna. End of school next week...She is really blossoming, still sick, and all I can say is that baby should like roller coasters the way she upchucks. (Don't think I ever had to spell that.) Hayden and Peyton miss Papa. They think you are in "Texas"! The dog still depressed.
Be careful. See you soon!

The trip sounds amazing. Even the rain and the fog seem like a fun adventure.

Wish we could have had a day inside like you described: This would be the perfect day to stay indoors, watch a movie, read a book, or sit by the fire.

I think we would have rather been out riding in the rain after Mom, Grandma, Ally, and I spent hours and hours grading... Hayden even asked if he could grade! See what you're missing?!?!

Glad your day ended safely.
Love you!
