GAINES-LAMPI 2ND ANNUAL REUNION 08!!!???

Happy New Year my beloved family,

well, I'll make the intro short and let you do the deciding. I have been summoned by some of my kith to propose AN OPTION for our annual summer fling, which let's just be honest....JAKE AND AB set the BAR WAY TOO HIGH! So like, if we decide to make it a West Coast - Midwest every other year deal, then MI has NO chance competing with Tahoe's vistas and surprises (I still can't get over the salmon in that crystal clear river near the ice cream shop just around the bend of HEAVEN..emerald bay).

But since time's a ticking, my most excellent wife and bodacious mother have come up with a possibility and I am here to propose it:

Steph's family has 2 lodges, mobile homes, cottages whatever you call em right on Lake Huron a 1 hr 1/2 from EL 2 hours from Brighton. They are smack dab on the beach. And there is a possibility to borrow/rent the mobile home next to our 2

The amenities in EACH home:
cable televison in (TIGERS GAMES???????)
Fully loaded Kitchens
Living room
2 Bedrooms
1 bathroom w/shower and bath (tub in at least 1) in each trailer
Shed with water toys
HuGE deck for playing, sunbathing and conversating etc
Grill

BEACH + BEAUTIFUL H20 + Firepits and a Pier
Basketball court on beach
Golf Cart for transportation
Nice park and baseball field
Tennis Courts


Across the street is a Mini-Golf Driving Range with awesome ICE CREAM (stroths)

The town is called Lexington: Quaint town with cool stores (that's where Steph's mom got Eden that organic outfit Sarah....store's called "Weekends")
Town has a general store, market like Sefa's and then some ecclectic treasures you'd see in Royal Oak or Rochester. A theatre for plays, an outdoor concert pavilion, a harbor, and some cute antique stores (that sounds like my mom)

Alright, so like.......there's a 36 HOLE GOLF COURSE 3 miles from where you rest your heads at night...and it's beautiful..and reasonable. It's where I got a par..... after 6 cold ones....just a joke...."watch it, jefe" - Wes

You are 20 minutes from Port Huron and the Bridge to Canada = Casino.
Port Huron has the big mall, etc.,, blah blah blah. But there are movie theatres, hospitals, etc etc. h yeah, I found this new bakery/art gallery that is ALL ORGANIC about 3 miles from our place that serves awesome healthy food and really funky art. Dreadlocks encouraged.

Bottomline: It's pretty much free and there are places to get away if you get sick of someone....jk...much love....it is relaxing. My kids ALWAYS ask to go to "Wiggle Bay." You wake up staring out at the sun coming up over the Lake horizon. Most importantly it's AN OPTION.
Like I said, we will have 3 mobile homes that can house 6 people pretty comfortably.


WE CAN STILL LOOK TO THE UPPER P AND OTHER PLACES TOO. Just thought I would put it out there.

Here are some pics. The 1st too I didn't take but like that is lake huron at night and during the day. Oh yeah. Can I say SHOTGUN THOSE CHAIRS FOR A LIL reminiscin whatver=happened-to-thelive-on-the-beach-togther-swim-with-=doplhins-idea Wes and Jeff bonding time..... Caleb playing bball at the lake, the two boys and their friend Ella (daughter to Macomb County Prosecutor----watch it Caleb!), Eden having a treat on the deck, Caleb and his Papou...where else! the kitchen!... and my DAD at Uncle Bob's tying one on JK! Living it up OC style..had to post it! Wouldn't youa'll love to see ole Normy kickin' it like this at the lake this summer. That's worth a Spirit Air ticket just that alone. I have better pics, but not on my laptop....post em later.

feel free to comment and ask questions.....We have some time to decide...but not too long. Chime in so I can hear your thoughts. Google it. Lexington MI, Port Huron MI...etc
