A Really Good Labor Day Weekend-- Part 1

Sure enjoyed myself this past Labor Day weekend. Even got out on the boat three times, something we usually don't do because of the masses of boats descending upon the Chain of Lakes on this, the unofficial end-of-the-season.


FRIDAY, AUGUST 29th-- Did some floating in the boat in the morning and then had thumb therapy. Afterwards, went back out on the boat and went over to Baja Benny's where we met up with some friends and had beverages and a nice talk out on the deck overlooking Fox Lake.

Then, boated over to the Mineola for their fish fry, always a favorite. Costs $7.95 and is all-you-can-eat cod, fries and it comes with a salad bar. The Mineola dates back to the 1890s and is like a mini Grand Hotel from Mackinac Island. It has a long veranda upstairs for a perfect view of Fox Lake.


SATURDAY, AUGUST 30th-- Boated over to McDonald's for breakfast and ate our in the boat. Not too many places around where you can boat to a McDonald's.

Had to break down and cut the weeds and some grass after a two-week stoppage because of the drought. Ran out of gas part way through it.

Then drove to Twin Lakes, Wisconsin and watched the last show the season of the Aquanauts who put on quite a show on the water. We especially liked the pyramids which would be hard enough on dry land, but really difficult on skis in rolling water.
