My Mini Vacation!
Went with my mom on a mini vacation up North to the Mackinac Bridge yesterday. For those that have no idea what I'm talking about which is probably pretty much everyone. The Mackinac Bridge is the bridge that connects the lower peninsula of Michigan to the upper peninsula of Michigan. It's a beautiful site, along with the Lake area. Was a nice relaxing night to be away. Thought I'd share pics.
B-cups got the pound of fudge so hit her up!! It's currently en route her location if you want to intercept
The Bridge at Night
From our balcony at the hotel.
Boat in the straits as we crossed the bridge.
Closer view at night.There’s a promise I need you to make
While I’m gone you take care of the love
And I’ll deal with the hate.
Don’t worry about me; I’ll be all right
Just care for your children and sleep tight
I’ll keep you safe on my watch tonight

It's everyplace. Like at least 5 stores on every corners its nuts!! Well b-cups has the fudge now

Then you'll appreciate one of my favorite cartoons from a guy named Guinden: two downstate yuppies go into a pasty shop. The woman asks the waitress Originally Posted by Autumn2009

"Can we see a menu?"
The waitress answers: "No."
If you've been there, it's funny.Anything posted here does not represent the opinion of any agency anywhere ever.

So I'm heading back up towards fudge land the week of August 15th with the family.
If anyone is interested, they can hit me up with a pm and we can arrange a fudge transaction.
