I'm participating in Friday Foto Friends and if you'd like to also, just click here to link up.
Hubby and I visited with our daughter and grandson this week. If you want to see pictures of them, you can check out yesterday's Thankful Thursday post. I thought I'd post a few pictures of some things hubby and I enjoyed while we were there.
We saw this old church up near Lake Michigan in Indiana |
We got Subway sandwiches and ate lunch by Lake Michigan in one of the National Parks. It was so beautiful out that day. |
We took a drive over to Illinois and came upon a section of the Historic Route 66 and I grabbed a couple pictures of some of the iconic Route 66 stuff. Like this Sinclair Gas Station Dinosaur |
I loved this guy at the Launching Pad Cafe. Unfortunately the Cafe is closed down. |
President Lincoln |
While in Illinois we visited the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery. It was absolutely beautiful and so big. |
There were section after section of graves for our military and their family. Such a sobering thing to see. So sad that so many have given their lives for our freedom. I am so thankful for each one. |
Lake Michigan, a dinosaur, a spaceman, and Abe Lincoln! Could this blog be any more fantastic?

I used to live on Lake Huron. Sigh. Memories! Your Lake Michigan photo looks similar.
I have only seen one of the Great Lakes. How cool to live close enough to visit. I didn't know about the Abraham Lincoln Cemetery. Praise God for the brave people who fought to keep this country free and may our freedom continue.
ReplyDeleteWow,Lake Michigan is so beautiful! What a great place to enjoy lunch.
ReplyDeleteWe have a dinosaur like that by me.Very old and beloved. I don't think it is a Sinclair gas Dino though as that one seems to be.
Love the photo of the church. So peaceful looking.
Have a lovely weekend
So many interesting things...I really love the old church. Don't ya just know there's been a lot of great services held there!!
ReplyDeleteLove all those pictures. That old church looks intriguing. Would love to explore it. Lake Michigan looks so pretty. I remember the Sinclair Dinosaur. Love the statues and the cemetery. Thank you for sharing. Looks like a wonderful little trip.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful area of our country to visit....thanks for sharing the great fotos. Love the one of the old church. I know you had a blast with your grandson! (sorry I'm late to visit) Happy Labor Day weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteSuch a quaint church. I sometimes wonder what icons are left of Route 66 so thanks for sharing these! It is a very sobering scene to see a small portion of those who died for their country.
