We visited our friends Ben and Miranda up in the U.P. this weekend. Ben goes to school in Houghton at Michigan tech. (Yaha for engineering!) It was quite the drive. I took Friday and Monday off so we didn’t spend the whole weekend driving. Saturday we all drove even further north to the tip of Michigan and took the Brockway mountain drive. Michelle got a little car sick but we did get to see some cool sites. We also got to see the big snow thermometer and a little road side waterfall. We just stop when and where ever we felt like it and took in the beauty of nature. The weather wasn’t the greatest. It was cloudy and over casted most of the time and it rained a good chunk of the time Sunday, which just gave us time to play a little Mario kart on the wii!
But all the site seeing and adventuring was second to visiting with Ben and Miranda. We got to see their new apartment in the great white north land and see the new credit union where Miranda works. There was a lot of talking and joking, and of course game playing. A good time was had by all. We drove home Monday in the first snow of the season. There was almost a inch of snow by the time we hit Marquette, but faded as we drove east. We had a lot of fun just taking our time driving across Michigan. It is amazing the many different landscapes this state has. We ate at Clyde's on the way home and it was amazing! (I know you're all jealous.) After all our travels, we were happy to finally get home and relax with Harvey.
