Midwest Road Trip!!

We took a seven day road trip through
Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Plus, spent time at three of the four Great Lakes;
Lake Superior, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
Lake Superior
I do not know where she learned the poses!! :)
First night we were suppose to bike a 1/2 mile
into a yurt at the Porcupine Mountains.
Adi & Tony went in with the first load....
when they came out they had been attacked by mud and mesquito's.
That night we stayed in a hotel.
Picture above of the good shoe.
Wish I would have taken a picture when they came out.
But, I think I would have been in a little trouble.

  1. WOW ... really beautiful pictures and awesome family shots (love the new sweatshirts!). Looks like you had a fantastic trip (except for being attached by mud and mosquitos that first night - yikes!). Can't wait to hear more about it!
