Jonathon and I just returned from a much-needed vacation. Thanks to some very wonderful grandparents, we were able to take the trip without the kids (although we missed them, of course). We arrived Wednesday evening and stayed in Cedarville, Michigan at an Intervarsity Training Camp. We brought along all of our own food and actually cooked some outstanding meals (you know, the kind your kids won't eat).
We took our first day trip to Tahquamenon Falls and Whitefish Point on Thursday. We were blessed with beautiful weather and scenery.
The second day, Friday, we crossed on a ferry boat over to Drummond Island where we hiked around Maxton Plains, a very interesting Tundra-like area. We then hiked down three different unmarked paths trying to locate Fossil Ridge, only to be turned away each time with "Private Property" signs. We learned later that we hadn't driven far enough down the main (dirt) road. Jonathon was VERY disappointed. Now, we'll just have to go back, I guess. Drummond Island was not as wonderful as we had hoped because all the trails are meant for ORV's, not hikers. Oh well.
We came home to a couple of tired children, but we had much more patience after all the rest we had. Now, back to the grind...
P.S. If you would like to see pictures of our adventure, just click on the photo slideshow on the right side of the screen. This will take you to our flickr account.
