Upper Peninsula of Michigan!

This year we took Greg's dream vacation. We visited the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Our home base was this cute little cabin in between Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. It was a great location and each day we traveled 40-90 minutes in different directions so we could see everything we wanted to. We spend a lot of time driving and listened to over 40 hours of books on CD! Crazy! The first day we drove to Minneapolis and met G & G Francom. That was awesome. The next day we began the long journey to Michigan. The drive through Wisconsin was beautiful. Red barns were everywhere. It was a long and basically uneventful day. Our air conditioner broke...Sabrina threw up in G & G's rental car....

 Our first view of the great lakes was a wonderful break. All that driving and we needed to be reminded that we were going somewhere awesome.

 Our drive took much longer than we anticipated and to all the children's dismay we needed to stop for dinner on the way. We found a great place to eat called Big Boy.

 As you can tell they were all thrilled.

 After many many hours we arrived at our destination. The kids were so excited to arrive and we were exhausted. It was fun to be able to stay in such a beautiful place. We had our moments where we missed internet and phone service but it provided a wonderful break from day to day life.

Some of my favorite picture moments from the vacation were G & G's selfies. 

 Pasties...they weren't my favorite but at an end of a long day it was nice to have some warm Upper Peninsula food.

 Here are a few photos that  are just random events that occurred throughout the trip. The first is kate writing her name on an old school slate.

 Jacob brought his chinese hat. He looked like a cute little communist in it....eating ice cream.

 These two little kids got along the entire time. They shared a bedroom and were so sweet with each other.

 On the way home from our long long trip Jacob pulled out his tooth! First one for him.
