We had a great week last week. The Pruss family came to visit. Jason and Jo stayed at our house for a few days with Elle, Zach, Obie, a Macbook, and Jason's new iPad. We had a great time hanging out and catching up. Michele and Jake got to go to the zoo with them one day while I was at work. We all enjoyed a delicious meal at Mario's (just like the old days) and had a great dessert at Michele's new favorite spot,
Swirlberry.
After they took off, we headed up north to join Meme, Papa, and Alison for a camping weekend. And by up north, I mean UP NORTH. We made the 5+ hour trip up to the UP. We stayed at
Straits State Park right over the bridge. Jake was so excited to be on the bridge, it was adorable. After a long day at work, Mark, Kelly, and Emily eventually made it to the park, but it was well after we had gone to bed for the night. The next day, we all grabbed a
ferry to Mackinac Island and spent a fun day walking, sight-seeing, and, of course, eating. We all enjoyed our lunch at the
Pink Pony. We attended Mass right on the Island. The
Church wasn't air conditioned, and we were part of the largest congregation the priest had ever presided over, so it was a bit hot and stuffy, but the church was beautiful. We grabbed dinner at
Goodfellow Grill. Then, some of us had ice cream while others ate some of their fudge as we waited for the last ferry boat to shuttle us back to our campground.
