Today, July 4th, was not without a little inconvenience. Jim's bike wouldn't start, so we had to think of who to call as most stores would be closed for the holiday. The VERY KIND desk clerk insisted on calling a few auto parts stores for us. Located a mile down the road was a store which was already opened at 8:30 am. Jim hopped on my bike and off he went with his battery in hopes he could buy one that would fit. He came back with the new one and installed it...the bike still wouldn't start! He thought maybe it was the starter which we would have to get towed to the nearest HD shop, but not until tomorrow. Anyway, off to the store again to make sure the battery was fully charged, and this time it worked!
We were on the road once again. Through Illinois and Indiana to Michigan, where we are staying in Lansing. Funny that as a child I, Caroline, would visit my aunt and uncle often here in Lansing, great memories.
The hotel has a really nice pool with hot tub that we took advantage of, it was so refreshing after another scorcher of a day.
Having a water break and some cool air at McDonald's, early afternoon.
Ahhh, so refreshing in the pool!!
