Good lord, what a slacker I've been. I have been getting better at updating my other two blogs though so give me some credit there lol.
So we did the vacation thing in August - went "up north" for a week.
First we headed up to Munising, MI to see the Pictured Rocks...
Then we headed down to Mackinac and spent an evening on the island. Love it there!
They had a butterfly house on the island, so we decided to give it a visit...very cool.
We made a trip over to Hartwick Pines one day...
We also hit up Traverse City for lunch at the Mackinaw Brewing Company, headed over to Glen Arbor to go to Cherry Republic winery/store/cafe and saw the Sleeping Bear Dunes along the way. We didn't attempt to climb them. Been there, done that. It's a GIANT sand dune that takes FOREVER to get to the top...I'll pass.
Back home, in August they had an air show at the base so we went to that. I think I got some pretty cool shots. I have a few more on my photo blog too.
Let's see...what happened in the month of September. Well we celebrated my brother's 24th birthday. Did the bar thing and had some fun.
Here's me with my brother and sister...aren't we a cute bunch? lol
And then we went back up north for Labor Day weekend. Just hung around the cottage, did a little drinkin'...good times.
After I got back from the cottage, it was back to work. I headed out to Rock Island Arsenal with Jill for a work trip.
Then throughout September we went to a Mudvayne concert, Sausagefest (hehe), a Beer Festival and I went to the International Gem and Jewelry Show. I don't go for the loose beads, although they have plenty, but I like the glass rings and bracelet watches they have.
I think that about catches us up through September.
