Chad bought some dental equipment from someone in Gaylord, MI that needed picking up. At first, being heavy with child, I was reluctant to go, but his persuasive powers eventually won me over. We decided to make the quick road trip over the general conference weekend. It was fun (minus the nights when my tailbone/hips were killing me because I'd been in a car so long...oh well. haha). But seriously, I'm glad we went. It was beautiful up there and we made some fun memories. Here's a few of the beaches/lighthouses we got to see.
Ice cream stop
Day trip to Mackinac Island
Our ferry ride over was pretty fun on the choppy waters. A local told us that during the winter when the lake freezes over they line the way from the mainland to the island with pine logs and people pass over on snowmobiles. They call the lined path "Christmas tree highway". The local said his brother, who is quite adventurous, won't dare make the Christmas tree highway trek.
Yep, no cars allowed.
Detroit style pizza and fudge
True to tradition- our "general conference" pictures. Not quite as dressed up/outfit coordinated.
A horse drawn tour of the island
And then it was homeward bound.
Oh, and my favorite general conference talks (this is just off the top of my head right now)...
