boy what a trip out East was! I think we went everywhere we possibly could. I started out in Hartford, CT visiting an old friend, and then took the bus to Boston to meet up with the rest of the fam. After a long walk around the city, suitcase in tow, I finally met up with everyone! Bos
ton was very cool. We toured the
downtown, Quincy Market, took a graveyard tour and ended at the USS Constitution, our personal favorite. Then Steve, Mo and Dave and I went on to Plymouth, saw Plimoth Plantation and Mayflower...had some winey chowder and traveled to the metropolis of Waterville, ME to see Dan and Jo. We spent the weekend hiking and kayaking in Acadia National Park on the coast and it was a lot of fun. It was a great opportunity to see the east coast, so thanks Dan and Jo for inviting us out!
So our family decided to risk another vacation together... and we actually went up almost exactly to the same place as last time! I think we enjoy spending 6hrs in a car together... Thanks to Rob and his generous Aunt, we spent a few days on the largest Apostle Island of Madeline. On the way up, all 5 of us kids, and the little b
ean, took our car up to our land, and then on to spend the day at the Porcupine Mtns. in Upper MI. It was beautiful up there! Diddy loves taking car rides with the little bean, and says, " Kona can sleep on my pillow whenever she would like, I just love dogs." :) Anyway, we hiked and Jake and Dave biked and then we drove to Ashland, spent the night, met up with the rest of the fam in an overloaded minivan, and drove to the ferry and across to the Island. We saw black bears and snakes and deer, so Dave was in his glory. This was a lot of fun, and I think I got a little tan so even I was happy!
