Road Trip

It has been another intense week. Having a few people, Caryn and Paul in particular, around after the big party was really great. They left the same day as Kalia and Joshua though, and the empty house made me feel rather sad. Wish I was able to spend more time with family.

After a couple relaxed days with just us and the girls, my parents returned from a nice trip to Duluth. Friday morning Naomi and I packed up the Prius, said goodbye, and drove off. Pretty special to be with just the two of us again and do whatever we feel like doing. After a picnic lunch overlooking Lake Michigan we did a bit of shopping and found our Airbnb.

It was a beautiful log home in the woods with some really great hosts. We talked with them for a while around the campfire after playing a bit of pool with pizza and beer. The leftover pizza became breakfast in bed.

Our stomachs weren’t too happy with us, so we didn’t eat again until after 4. Found a delicious, healthy place in Traverse City. Before that we drove up the peninsula and spent a lot of time on the beach. Perfect day for it! Then we drove down to Grand Haven to stay with Andrew and Jessica. Great to be here again!
