B.B.King in Soo

We took an overnight trip to go to a B.B. King concert. It was a birthday present for Kayo!! Unfortunately we have no photos from the concert. Since it was at the casino, we seriously thought it illegal to carry a camera.... And B.B. at the age 0f 84!! did not give us an intermission either (we could have run to our room to get our camera). The concert was great. Such a cool experience to see B.B.King in person.
Then, we enjoyed just a little night life at the casino.
Next day we did a little sightseeing in Soo (Sault Sainte Marie, MI). We got to watch a ship enter Lake Superior via Soo Lock, where the water level was raised by 21 feet!! to meet the higher Lake Superior water level. Amazing system that was invented and has since been operated for 150 years.
Notice how the ship now sits a lot higher than in the previous picture.

Did we mention we were near freezing? We were facing the north wind at the U.S.-Canadian border.

Before we headed out of town, we had lunch at the Antlers. I think Joe would decorate his den just like this if he can.

On our way home, Joe took the back road to show me his absolute dream car that's been for sale. It's a '79 Camaro in metalic blue. "Dear Santa. Joe's been very, very good this year. He even took Kayo to the B.B.King concert for her birthday. Please give Joe his dream car....."
