I know some of you are familiar with my family and I getting trapped in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Well it began one morning after we got back from Sturgis. We were going somewhere. Nobody knew where we were going. We got in the car and picked cards. We were supposed to go 4 hours West. We could not go for 4 hours west but we could go for a half hour. After we'd reach as far West as we could, we stopped and drew more cards. This time they were East 2 hours. We didn't follow them exactly though. Anyway, we drove for about 8 full hours. In that time we drove through the upper tip of Indiana, almost all of Illinois, and we were on the border between Wisconsin and Illinois before we had to stop. We stayed 1 night in the Courtyard Marriott. The next day we left at nine in the morning. Then we went to Trader Joe's and ... you guessed it! Starbucks! Then we again drove. At 2:00 in the afternoon we started looking for a hotel. We stopped at 3 hotels and not one of them had a swimming pool. At the fourth hotel we found everything we wanted. The very day we arrived Mom called a ferry reservation place and asked if there were any open seats for the next day.The lady said no but they did have a cancellation for Sunday. Mom took it. The only problem was that Dad had to preach on Sunday. So he made some arrangements with the Church. They would do a devotional Sunday. I'll continue in another post.
