Hittin' the Mitten - Day 3

Decided to skip the free breakfast this morning in lieu of sleep.  Good choice.  Both Sam and I snoozed nearly to 11...then hustled to get out of our hotel by noon.  Had some yummie Pizza Hut for lunch.  I really like Pizza Hut.

After we were done, Sam had mentioned swimming again in Traverse Bay - like yesterday.  As I was watching him, I felt bad that I couldn't join him, but now I could with the new trunks.  We went to Meijer (eventually...almost didn't...Sam couldn't make up his mind) for towels, and hit the beach again.  Found a great parking space and there was a bathroom for changing...SCORE!  We both waded in the water for a good two hours, then headed south to our next stop in Bay City.

We arrived to our hotel in time to shower, and then head back out to Midland for a Great Lakes Loons game.  They are the single-A affiliate of the Dodgers.  Great stadium, and a fantastic crowd...about 3,400 folks.  We scored FREE tickets before the game, and Sam got a home run ball.  Nice!  While playing catch in the outfield berm, Sam missed a ground ball and it bounced into the field.  NOT nice.  Thankfully a nice groundskeeper retrieved it and threw it back to Sam.  We shopped a little bit, and headed back to the hotel.  I think we'll make tomorrow a movie day - not much to do out here.
