On Tuesday we hung around Grand Haven and got the behind the scenes tour of Andrew’s business, Aldea Coffee. Fun to see their new roaster in action. My friend Dave came out for dinner and it was great to see him again. We tried to eat outside but the mosquitoes drove us indoors.
All the busyness made it hard to sleep, so it was good the three of us (Naomi and Andrew’s wife stayed in Grand Haven) to find a secluded campground along Lake Superior. We had an amazing time there. The water was surprisingly warm and a fire six years ago insured for an endless supply of wild blueberries.
Friday we had quite a culture shock when returning to civilization at Taquamenon Falls on our way back to Escanaba. Strange to see a brewpub in a State park! It was great to see the girls after a whole week without them. I got tired out from all the hugs and had to lie on the floor and just let them crawl all over me!
Saturday my friends went up to Marquette to round off their trip - Mike flew out of there to get back to San Francisco and Andrew and his wife wanted some time to themselves. Abigail and my mom came up with me to see them off and enjoy one last afternoon in Marquette. It was a beautiful day. We had lunch at Donkers, did some shopping, played at the playground, and hung out on a beautiful beach. Can’t wait to live there!
Today is their birthday. Four years old!! They are so excited to start school in a week. We got them lots of presents for it. Good to have a family day to celebrate. Definitely not up for a big party. Looking forward to tenderloin and twice baked potatoes tonight!
