Well was MIA all weekend and monday... went up north to visit the father in law... tried out my new luggage rack and it worked GREAT!!

Got it all loaded, covered, and strapped in. Not going anywhere!

So we drove up Friday after I picked the wife up from work... traffic sucked per usual going north on Friday. 5.5 hrs later (due to a few stops along the way) and we make it by 10pm.

Sat we ran down to the The 29th Annual Michigan Firemen's Memorial Festival and saw lots of stuff. Brinks was a big hit, we were stopped about every 25' asking about the dog and for every person doing that there was 3 more that looked, pointed, or talked about him as we walked by.

After that we did nothing... we were pooped after the busy Friday and getting up early for the festival.

Sunday, got up and ran over to the Leelanau penninsula (most western part of the lower penninsula of michigan) and got some pics of us against lake michigan as a back drop.

Plus the father in law and step mother in law...

When going there we have to go thru Traverse city. This is such a great town and the sights are great... here's just one shot that the wife knabbed from the car...

After we visited the Leelanau Wine Cellars for a wine tasting... which was nice cause the wife loves wine and I don't mind some of it... plus the tasting is free. Then picked up some food in traverse city and headed home.

Monday was hang around day... we didn't do much but I was able to get out the pistol and run thru some rounds with my make shift target...

The father in law busted out his competition shooting 22 Rouger... it was like a cap gun considering shooting my 40 mins before...

Look at the cute bullets

But we did get the wife to shoot both (first time shooting a hand gun) the glock 40 and the 22 Rouger

She didn't mind the 22 but didn't like the 40... I myself went right back to the 40..
