Camping, finally!

We finally took the camper out for it’s maiden voyage last weekend.  Thank goodness because I was really itching to go.

We headed down to Marquette on Friday and set up camp at Tourist Park.  We did a little shopping then headed to dinner at a restaurant called L’Attitude.  The restaurant was relatively new (about 2 years) had good reviews, so we were excited to give it a try.

Epic fail. 

We’ve had bad experiences at restaurants before, but never so bad that it inspired us to write a scathing review on tripadvisor.com, but that’s just what we did.  About the only good thing our review said was that our bottle of wine was good.  If they hadn’t comped our meal, except for the wine, I don’t think we would have even said that.  Get your shit together L’Attitude, and thank you UpFront & Company for serving great food after 10pm.

James was racing in the Ore to Shore MTB race as well as mooching on our campsite, so after he took off for the start, I took off for my 8 mile run around Presque Isle Park.  The humidity kept my pace about 30 seconds/mile slower, but I was okay with that.  Also, my legs were feeling so much better then they had on Wednesday so running was good that day.  Here’s a few shots from my run, and the rest of the weekend.  There’s more in the gallery.

On Sunday, we participated in the Gordon Lyon Memorial Cruiser ride.  This was a cruisers-only ride, no fancy road or MTB bikes allowed.




My bike was the cutest one there, no question





Cruisertini ?
