Another Beautiful Day in the Thumb (Port Sanilac, MI)

Today started out very chilly at only 48 degrees but oh how nice after the 90's that reached all the way up to Michigan just a week ago.  The winds from yesterday did die down so the weather was practically ideal and we could open the windows and turn off the air conditioner!! The campground is pleasant but it doesn't have the outdoor woodsy environment.

We played tourist after running a couple of errands.  Our first tourist stop was at the Blue Water Winery.  While we waited for the wine tasting to be set up, we took a walking tour of the vineyards.  The owners have a few Alpacas and we learned that they are smaller than llamas.  Llamas are actually used as guard animals and the coats are totally different between the two.  The Pope's robe apparently is made from the wool of alpacas.


We also learned that vineyards plant roses to be aware of pests that might infest the vines before damage is done. 

After the walking tour of the vineyard, we were given the opportunity to taste three wines for $3.00.  We selected a dry white, a semi-dry white, and a sweet/fruity red.  The semi-dry white was the best but we didn't like it well enough to spend the $16.00 a bottle for it.


On our way back through Port Sanilac to the campground, we stopped at the harbor to admire the boats at the dock.  We found the perfect boat--the white one behind Pat! :-)

The rest of the day was spent relaxing until after supper when we went to Forester Park for some ice cream (YUM)!!

Thus ends another day in the life of Pat and Susan--Easy Living!
