Michigan State Fair 2019

Last weekend which was also the Labor day weekend, I went to my first Michigan State Fair (my first ever any State fair actually).

Trick 3: Bulk Download 4K Wallpapers (Updated)

Ride to Lake Saint Clair Metropark and Afternoon

We have been living in Saint Clair Shores for over 9 months now and I must admit that we are still discovering new things every day. For example, I had no idea that there is a wonderful place called Lake Saint Clair Metrokpark, literally in our backyard. We discovered it one day while returning from a morning ride at Clinton River Loop. We had decided to not take the highway and just keep going inner …
