Our Trip to Michigan

To sum up our trip in three words...LOTS OF DRIVING! 12 hours there and 12 hours back in three days was definitely a LOT of time in the car, but we made it! Landon was such a little trooper and did wonderfully in the car. We had to climb in the back seat with him a few times, but he was great! Here are some highlights from our trip:

We decided that since we were going to be driving right through Green Bay that we would stop and check out Lambeau Field. We ended up doing the official tour, and we are so glad that we did! It was fun and very informative. The tour guides only gave us a hard time about being Viking fans a few times! Here's Landon and I "pretending" to be Cheeseheads! The Packer Pro Shop had everything and anything you could possibly want in green and gold.

During the tour we got to walk down on the field and check out the tunnel.

Darren thought he'd be funny and pretend to do a "Lambeau Leap." The wall was actually WAY shorter than it looks on tv.

Here we are with the Mackinac Bridge in the background. Yes, we went over it twice...once on the way to the Lower Peninsula and once on the way back. It was pretty freaky! It's five miles long and over 200 feet about the water at it's highest point. It connects the two peninsulas of Michigan with Lake Huron on one side and Lake Michigan on the other.

We actually found about an hour of time on Saturday when it DIDN'T rain, so we thought we'd take advantage and get some pictures in the lake. So, here we are enjoying Lake Huron!

Lake Huron...what a beautiful day, huh?

This was our cottage. Definitely "rustic." Let's just say we didn't stay in a four star resort!

Jeanine and Burgess' wedding was an outdoor ceremony by the lake near the Sturgeon Point Lighthouse. It was pouring rain and everyone was soaked! They had a tent set up for the ceremony. It's a good thing Jeanine is so laid back! It still ended up being a beautiful ceremony.

Jeanine and I at the reception, which was held under a huge tent at her cabin on the lake. It was a great time!

Overall, a wonderful trip...just too much driving! We were so glad to finally be back on Sunday night after 13 hours in the car!
