“Didn’t get all the sites with The Lansing Journal, but we tried,” wrote Wilma Straatman as she downloaded her vacation photos into a Facebook message. We’re not sure which photos show what, but we’re including Wilma’s message here and the photos below, with our best guesses in the captions.
Wilma wrote: “At Gladstone Beach where the grands swam in Lake Michigan and then posed for pictures a little further on at their pier. Sunday a beach crawl at various parks along Lake Superior. There they hunted for rocks and also did some dipping in the colder waters of Lake Superior. Looking for dinner and found a McDonald’s and a Subway side by side. The Journal saw it all. Last photos of grands on our way back home and my sister MaryEllen Bloem from Grand Rapids, Michigan, and myself. A trip of 1,083 miles in four days. A great Air BNB in a secluded area with a creek nearby for crayfish and turtle catching (and release), good weather, a few (quite) too many and great memories made. Some of the pictures just don’t do justice to The Lansing Journal. Oh well.”
