Papa’s bosses must have heard me from the past, lol, because they ended up
taking one of their submarines on a trip. They took a ferry to get to that
island in Connecticut, but they didn’t do it like that when they all went to
Michigan. They worked in Chicago, which is on the southern part of Lake
Michigan. I don’t know if it was a new sub, or what, but in 2011, they all
crammed into it, and took it all the way up north, to the other side of the
giant lake. They ended up in a city in Michigan called Mackinaw City. It was
the first time anyone had done anything like that. That wasn’t the point of
the trip, though. They actually wanted to get to the city. Well, they were
outside of the city. It was for something called a corporate retreat. It was
summertime, so once they landed at the docks, they took cars into the woods.
That’s where they played games, and learned how to work with each other. At
that point, the company was over ten years old. A lot of people wanted to
work there, so there were new workers who weren’t there before. Most of the
people at the retreat didn’t know each other very well. A company built the
camp to help other companies’ teams work together better. My papa was in
charge of it for his team, but he also participated in the games and
exercises. When it was over, most of them just flew back home, but papa got
to go back in the submarine again. He stopped at other cities in Michigan
along the way, because he had always wanted to see them. Then he took it
back to the submarine base, and went home.
