We chose the lakeshore route, as the sun was out. So off we went!įrom Grand Rapids, there are two routes you can take: the inland route via US 131, or the lakeshore route, via US 31. Pardon the pun, but the weather along the lakeshore can be a gamble this time of year…but Wednesday was Senior Day, and we are considered seniors now at 56 years old, at least in the casino’s eyes. We hadn’t been to a casino in a year or two, so we thought it would be fun to run up there and meet them for the day. Jim’s sister texted us on Sunday and mentioned that she and her husband were going to run over to Manistee on Wednesday to go to the casino, and asked if we wanted to meet them there. Living in West Michigan in the winter, we tend to treat a sunny day like a kind word.
One kind word can warm three winter months.
