Indiscipline Cruise 2000
Traverse City, MI

A big Schooner

Traverse City is quite a large city and unfortunately, we were a week late for the Cherry Festival. But, there were still plenty of cherries to be found. We got our first mail package here. That was exciting especially for Heidi since her grandma and aunt sent her birthday presents! The marina is old and I thought the docks could fall over if I wasn't careful where I stood, but it held the boat just fine. We stayed here an extra day due to bad weather. Bad weather isn't always a bad thing though, we did lots of things here while being stuck. We did major grocery shopping at a real grocery store and took Pokey and Flipper to see the new Pokemon movie. We bought a used bike for Spike and pie for all (which we consumed in one day).
...

Every Friday night during the summer, there is a street fair. They have all sorts of venders where you can get food and other things. There was also this great jazz quartet. I've never heard jazz mandolin before.

Flipper and Pokey scooting.

Flipper and Pokey, "we'd scoot three miles to see the new Pokemon movie. We took a bus.

 Flipper did endo off of her scooter. The local skateboarders emathized and said, "ooh, that's gotta hurt." Her knees are better now and the spill didn't dampen her scooter fun.
