Hi there family and friends!  I warned you that I would be posting photo blogs!  Today Andy and I took Kay to the airport in Traverse City so that she could fly to Peoria, Illinois for her best friend’s birthday and graduation party!  She couldn’t get a flight out of Pellston, as it is our busy tourist season up here!  So, her loving Uncle Buck got her tickets out of the next closest airport over at Cherry Capital Airport and volunteered to drive her there!  Traverse City is about 113 miles southwest of Pellston!  Most of it is 2 lane too, so traffic can be crazy when you go through Petoskey and Charlevoix!

This is a very eccletic set of photos!  I just shot whatever looked interesting to me!  Let’s see if you think they are interesting too! (:

I didn’t know that any of these were still in service!  This one is on the side of a 7/11 party mart!

There was a bit of landscaping on the side of the 7/11, and I was impressed with this antique cream can and this birdhouse!  I am not sure how the birdhouse ended up being on the pole sideways, but still it was cool to me!

We ate a yummy brunch at the Flap Jack Shack!  I love the architecture of their restaurants! (:

Their prices are very reasonable, and the food was delish!  I was also impressed with the coffee creamer in the giant Coffee-mate mug!

I shot this crooked, but I had to post it and make an Airplane the movie reference!  Someone might remember that movie!  I find it hilarious!

Cherry Capital Airport is GORGEOUS!!!  I have never been in the terminal before!  I have flown in before and then immediately back out landing in Pellston!  They used to be owned by the same people, I think!  Anyhoots, I am so in love with that light fixture and the fireplace!  It is all very Frank Lloyd Wright looking!  Don’t I sound like a smarty pants?! (:  I actually stole that from Andy who knows architecture and interior design much better than I do!   After all, he is married to the best architect in the US!!!  I was sufficiently impressed with my surroundings!  I was expecting it to be closer to the size of the Pellston Regional Airport!  It is not!

I had Andy take a shot of us before she went through security!  I love you Kay Keiser! (:

A few more shots of girlfriend! (:

I will end with my favorite shot of the day!  They are both SO MUCH FUN!!!  I love them both with all of my heart !  I hope that Kay will have a great time with Vane, and return to us safely next week!

THANK YOU ANDY!  WE LOVE YOU!!!
