We are presently in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We spent a wonderful Thanksgiving in Lower Michigan with our son, our daughter-in-law, along with four of our grandchildren. Now we are in the UP spending time with our daughter and her family which means time with three of our grandchildren.
One of the things we have learned this year is how important moments are and these moments back in Michigan have been worth every mile of driving we did to get here.

| Spent the night at the Powhatan Motel in Pocahontas, IL Then a stop at Scooter's for coffee and we are on our way. Cuteness: after you order your coffee they say scoot forward to pick up your order. |
 |
| Real cuteness: getting to see our youngest grandchild fall asleep on the couch. |

| Four reasons that makes every mile worth it. |
 |
| In the doorway of their home our son is holding his youngest and the little one is waving and saying "See you later alligator" over and over as we wave and drive away whispering, "after while crocodile". |
 |
| Crossing the Mackinac Bridge even though it is dark we can see the lights of "home" in front of us. |

| Snow! |
 |
| We are at around a 6900 elevation at this point. |
 |
| The sun is setting behind us as we continue heading north and east. |

| Not quite the New Mexico sign we usually see. |

We are glad you stopped by!

DeleteGlad you made it there safely and had some great family time. It looks like it was definitely worth the drive. I bet you'll be happy to get back to your home.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed every minute with our family but it will feel good to get home.
DeleteThat was a beautiful drive home. Wonder what roads you two will take to return. We're waiting on Ogilby Road. Hope they don't throw us out before you get here. Great to be with family.
ReplyDeleteI do not think we will match that ride on the way back. Looking forward to catching up to you all in a week. Will check in when it gets closer as to where.
