About to go out to dinner without the kids!

Today is our wedding anniversary.

We got married July 26, 1997.

Ten fun years together.

Over the Bridge...

At least Sam and Lub were excited to drive over the bridge

View from the east side
Our first trip over the Mackinac Bridge. It was sort of overcast so the pictures are a little drab. Construction started May 7, 1954, and it opened to traffic November 1, 1957. It cost $99,800,000 to construct. It is 26,372 feet in total length (about five miles). The height of main towers above water is 552 feet. The maximum depth of water at midspan is 295 feet. The height of the roadway above the water at midspan is 199 feet. The underclearace for ships at midspan is 155 feet.

Concert in the Park

Here we are at a free outdoor concert in Mackinaw City at Conkling Heritage Park. The boys got ice cream and Joah ran all over the place. He had a lot of fun.
