So, I figured that this is the now thing (blogging) so maybe I'll give it a shot. Changes are happening in the family so this is one way to keep us all up to date.
We had our family vacation by Mackinaw City MI this year. When we asked Mandi and Joey what they thought of going to Mackinaw they said "Finally - all our friends have already been there!". I had to remind them that we take them to Europe every other year so things like Mackinaw get squeezed in when they can. We really wanted to head out to the East Coast for vacation this year, but have you noticed gas prices?! The diesel prices are even worst and we wanted to take the 5th wheel. So we stay closer to home.
Still had a really nice time. Spent a day on Mackinaw Island doing the carriage tour, exploring Fort Mackinaw, the Grand Hotel, and the town. Also went up to the U P (Upper Peninsula for you non-Michiganders) for a day and saw the Tahquamenon Falls (2nd largest falls east of the Mississippi), Lake Superior and Whitefish Bay. It's also always neat to drive over the Mackinaw Bridge. The campsite that we had had a beautiful view of the bridge and Mackinaw Island. To round off the trip we took a drive and spent a day in Traverse City and also a day in Cheboygan. Nice vacation all in all. On the way home we stopped by Greg and Darlene's place in White Cloud for a couple days since it was the Fourth of July and on July 5 it was Greg's birthday. Had a really great time together. I think with all the traveling we do we have learned to get along and have fun with each other very nicely.
