While making my plans for the trip, I decided I wanted to go further north. It would have been cool to go through the tunnel and I had already gone over the bridge in Detroit.
Port Huron has a beach that is on Lake Huron. Since neither Will and I had seen Lake Huron, I thought it would be perfect for us to stop at the beach for a short rest stop.
Before we got there though, we went to a Biggby coffee in a suburb of Detroit. While trying to find it, we went past the exit for 8 Mile which reminded me of Eminem's song Lose Yourself from the movie "8 Mile."
That was an adventure in of itself trying to find the Biggby. I wish I had found a different one to go to because my patience was about shot once we got there. Traffic and the ways the roads are set up in the area made it difficult for me to get there. Honestly, it was just off the exit.)
Once we got my coffee and Will's smoothie, we were back on the road to the beach. After we got there, I pulled into the parking lot of the beach and noticed the prices for parking. It would cost me $20. We were only going to be there for about 30 minutes.
I pulled in and went to pay. I explained my dilemma to the person who was minding the pay booth. She allowed us to go in without paying. I promised her I would be in and out within 30 minutes which is what we did.
Here are some photos from the visit to the beach.
Right after we got done at the beach, we got some gas because it was going to be the last time I would get gas until we were back in the United States.
Then we crossed into Ontario. The border patrol asked us what we were doing in Canada, if we had anything to declare, and if his dad was aware I was taking him across the border. Once we answered all of those questions, we were sent on the way.
Join me next time for our quick visit to Sarnia, Ontario.
Have a magical day,
Traci
