If you read the last post, I explained that we had to get up early to catch the ferry home. Here is the view from our room-no this isn't a sunset!
We had good driving and made it to Ludington before 8:00 to get a spot on the Badger.
This was another ship in the harbor, but the Badger looked pretty similar to it. They could fit many cars. This trip, a coach bus was driven in along with a couple of large motorhomes.
Ludington was kind of a dumpy town, but the condos on the waterfront were pretty spectacular.
This was the view of the harbor as we pulled away.
There was also an extensive breakwater with this big marker on one side
and a lighthouse on the other side.
This is a panoramic view of the harbor.
This is a view of some of the many sand dunes along the western coast of Michigan. We would like to go back and see these. You can take a ride on a big dune buggy.
The color of the water was amazing; much different from that of Lake Erie.
After many attempts, we got a decent picture of the two of us with the water in the background.
We sat on the rear of the boat because it was less windy there and we could soak up the sun. It was really relaxing.
Even thought the ride was 4 hours, it seemed to go pretty fast. Soon we were approaching the harbor in Mantiwoc.
Before we landed, I snapped this picture of my beautiful wife. It reminds me of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis on her yacht. I'm a lucky man!
Once we got off the boat, we made our way up to Green Bay and had lunch at Krohls. We had the fried chicken which was really scrumptious. This was the first really hot day we had had on our vacation but our air worked fine in the CRV as we made our way across the state back home.
So that's the end of this trip. I hope you enjoyed the Travelblog! Thanks for all the comments.
