Carolyn Marie for another day full of Adventure here in Caseville, MI. Cheeseburger fest is in full swing and we took a little walk into town this afternoon. We stopped by the souvenir shop, I got a new cowboy hat, and my dad found a tank top and my brother got some really cool shades.
I have been enjoying the lake the whole time we have been here, but in this sticky humidity and blistering heat, I am sure grateful for the water. There is a sand bar about 50 yards from the beach. Another 50 yards from that is where I can't touch the bottom anymore. Its pretty shallow, and I love to just swim and float around. My aunt jan is thinking of training for a triathlon, so she has been perfecting her freestyle stroke :)
Tomorrow we leave in the morning to return home. I am excited to get back home, but I am sad to leave this paradise. Being with family is lots of fun. I love them all. very dearly.

The Adventure Called Life Day 317...cheeseburger in paradise...
(singing in a melancholy, sappy voice) "Brew Moon, you saw me standing alone, with out a dream in my heart, without a love of my own...."
This is adventurer Carolyn Marie reporting from Caseville, MI, USA. Home of the festival known to the local and savvy vacationers simply as "Cheeseburger" and proud home of "Brew Moon" coffee shop. Internet Cafe is NOT FREE. but works very nicely.
Today's adventure begins at 0500 hours. the "boys" as we affectionately call them, (my grandfather, father, uncle and brother) all went fishing at 6 o'clock. All us "girls" awoke to their clamoring and did not go back to sleep. We roused ourselves and got to breakfast in town around 9. The place was an awesome down home diner with NASCAR decor (my personal favorite) and now we are sitting at Brew Moon, a local coffee shop. It was wonderful to get some internet to communicate with you guys. I will post more about today tomorrow. Now I must end my over priced internet session. Talk to you soon everyone!

The Adventure Called Life Day 316...caseville is the new coolsville...
Adventure never stops in my life, as you have seen from the past 315 days of this blog. I am always discovering, uncovering, working to find answers and live life to its fullest. That is no different when I am on vacation. The adventurer in me never sleeps. Maybe that is why I appreciate Scooby Doo and the mystery gang so much.
My family has traveled to the bumbling burg of Caseville. Its the "tourist trap" of the thumb. It seems that we have arrived just in time for the Cheeseburger festival. It starts tomorrow. But our vacation adventure starts TODAY! We arrived at the cabin, only to discover is directly on the bay! I can see it, right now. I am sitting in the living room on the couch, watching the waves crash in on the shoreline. awesome. I also think that it is cool that we went on a boat ride. The idea is cool. The experience? not so much.
The pontoon boat we rented for 8 people was a 14 foot pile of junk. We had to wade out in waist deep water to get to the boat. Lawn chairs strapped in position for seating, and life preservers too small for any healthy adult, along with a dead battery started off our water expedition with true finesse. After a new battery rescue operation via ski-doo, the boat guy pushed us on our merry way. Then I got the bright idea to sit on the end of the boat. BAD IDEA. we almost sunk. My uncle pulled me back in, and then after we ran a-ground on a sand bar, my grandfather called the whole fiasco ka-putz. Thankfully, they got their money back. $100 an hour. WOW. just WOW.
Then we returned to the beach house and made a sandcastle. I found a silly hat to wear to make it extra fun. Dinner was quiet and easy, then we headed out to put-put. After we had a successful and fun, quite memorable game, we headed over to the basketball courts for some interesting backboard experiences. Then a visit to Dairy Queen finished off our first day in Caseville with a sweet note.
Tomorrow the cheeseburger festival starts. Things could get interesting here in Caseville. Tomorrow's report should be equally as adventurous....
