Touring the Mighty Mac. That was really good. Then the tour on the ugly Annie. I couldn't hear very well. But the weather was great. And the trip to the island, that was fun. Be ready to climb hills and walk. The carriage ride had to be the best part of this day. We had a great time well worth the time.
