Michigan and the UP (Upper Peninsula)

Chris and I got to be tourists again in the midwest and spent Labor Day weekend camping in Michigan. First night we spent near Higgins and Houghton Lakes. Lots of deer, maybe a little too many on the road. Second night we migrated clear up to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan staying in St Ignace and exploring Wild Life Refuge and State Parks. Final night we stayed in a campground just walking distance from Pentwater. We got the chance to see 3 of the Great Lakes: Michigan, Superior & Huron. Which feel more like oceans than lakes. The weather was perfect and the time away from all the other stresses of life was well needed. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

okay,
two things..i'm a blog virgin so i had to figure out how this all works. leave it to you guys to drag me into the 21st century! i think this is a great way to keep up with you two! also....you ended up in my junk e-mail box so Terra had to let me know you had sent this link. i think that i have successfully added you to my safe sender list. i now have one safe sender. this whole thing has been exhausting. can't imagine actually creating one of these things.

i love the fact that you both enjoy life as much as you do. it is true, there is so much to see and do in this world. you will undoubtedly do your best to see and do it all!

love to both of you
