Anniversary Trip

We had quite the week (and a half)! Claire had to go back to Europe, so we enjoyed the rest of our time with her and ended with a nice dinner at the Red Lobster in Marquette. This was also to celebrate the girl's good report card. The next day it was just the four of us as my parents drove Claire down to the airport. We played some tennis and relaxed a bit. The next day I went back up to Marquette for a meeting with our accountant, this time on my own. 

On Saturday Naomi and I went up to our land to camp out for a couple nights. The first night our tent got surrounded by some bears, so that made us a bit nervous, but they didn't bother us. We heard them the next night too, and there is no shortage of bear poop around there! We spent our time exploring and cleaning up the garbage that the previous owners left behind. Got a good start, but we will head back on Friday to do some more.

On Monday we stayed at a fancy hotel with a great lake view to celebrate our anniversary. It was a lot of fun. Tuesday morning was a last minute meeting with one of the Deans at NMU. He was really friendly and helpful - seemed interested in helping us to find postions there in a couple years. After that we toured the girls future school and then went for a swim. After that we met some of my dad's friends in town. It has been super busy and prodoctive - anything but restful. Lots of catching up to do this morning with the business and other things.
