Traverse City: The Nauti-Cat

The two families had talked about going out on the lake one morning and all of the research that mommy had done before hand showed that the boats didn't start running until Memorial Day weekend, thus putting us 1 week early for all "touristy" excursions. BUT, Jenell was surfing the web and found a catamaran that was running on a Wednesday, so she booked us all on the kids cruise. Later that same day, we were looking at the website and you could no longer sign up for Wednesdays cruise, so we assumed the cruise was sold out.. The next morning, we rally the troops and head off to the boat, thanking our lucky stars we were able to reserve a space on the boat. We get to the boat and no one else is there, except the captain... Turns out he was just playing around with the online reservation system of his website, and accidentally allowed tickets to be sold on that Wednesday, when he really wasn't opening for business until the upcoming Saturday. BUT, he said it was his mistake and took us out anyways. We had the whole boat to ourselves. It was so much fun roaming around that thing and playing on the nets. Remi had a rough time of it, daddy accidentally got sunblock in her eye, her eye swelled shut and she screamed for all but 5 minutes of the 90 minute trip...
