Are we there yet?

5.14
Today was all Michigan and two Great Lakes, one (Lake Huron) I'd never seen before.

I escaped the Roseville Super 8 as soon as possible - did I have breakfast? Not sure!It was a grey, overcast day and my first sighting of Lake Huron, near Au Gres, was unimpressive.

I stopped at one of the parks in Tawas City. Maybe that's when I had breakfast.Somewhere along the shoreline, I was presented with one of my favorite images of the trip:Tawas City, Michigan

There is a lot of roadside weirdness in Michigan.
Dinosaur Gardens in Ossineke, for instance.

Stopped for lunch and selfies at Huron Shores Roadside Park.

Lunch: (my new daily sandwich)
Cherry Tomatoes, Cheese (Feta?), Ramp Pesto on Whole Wheat

Then over the Mackinac Bridge to the Upper Peninsula and the top of Lake Michigan.

My destination was the EconoLodge in Manistique.
The lobby smelled like Swedish Meatballs so of course that's what I craved for dinner.
I settled for who knows what I was able to rummage from my food stash.

BTW, the room was a riot of patterns!(It looks kind of tame from this angle)
