Great Lakes Tour - Beloit
August 21-22, 2011
Left Michigan Sunday. Picked up Martin at O’Hare as we drove through Chicago. Visited the Porter Grandparents in Beloit Saturday evening and Sunday morning. Stayed at the Beloit Inn - view from our room across the Rock River of the Beloit Iron Works buildings. Dropped Martin back at the airport Monday on our way back to Oberlin. Total driving for this trip - 2,700 miles - slightly more than if we had driven from Oberlin to the Pacific coast of California.

Oberlin's Big Parade 2011
Oberlin's Big Parade is usually held the first Saturday in May. This was the tenth year for the parade and the weather was perfect for the event. There is no theme or purpose other than a show of creativity, a gathering of community, and the fun of a parade.
