Cherry Festival


Yesterday and today we drove around downtown to soak up some Cherry Festival atmosphere. People are swarming along the beaches, and on the streets downtown in amazing numbers. There seem to be three different types of groups - large family groups with folks of all ages together, teenagers or young adult groups (usually all boys or all girls) walking along together, and retired couples walking holding hands. Both yesterday and today most people were shading their eyes to watch the skies because of the Air Show. We didn't see much of it, but we could certainly hear the planes - quieter than the Blue Angels for sure, but still very loud.

Traverse City is doing well. The city looks good, and it's crowded with bustling, happy people. We had a bit of rain this morning, but not enough to ruin anything. By this afternoon everything looks terrific and it's a great day - warm (96F), sunny and breezy.
