Destination Michigan


Kristen and I recently drove home to Michigan to spend time with the family, see friends, and enjoy some beautiful Michigan summer weather. While we were there we, well, relaxed. Hey, it’s a vacation, right? We spent our first week with Kristen’s family in the Lower Peninsula town of Mesick. While we were there we gave those Apples to Apples cards a workout. Some highlights of the trip while with Kristen’s family were visiting Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes near Traverse City and enjoying Moomers ice cream on the way back.



Then it was up to the UP with my family. We enjoyed Fourth of July parades, fireworks, cookouts (Kristen especially got excited about the brats). We gave the Apples to Apples cards another good workout, and had a relaxing and enjoyable time with family and friends. Mom and Dad Ahtila even came up to the UP for a couple of days and enjoyed pasties with us at Presque Isle Park in Marquette. It was fantastic. Can’t wait to do it again sometime!
