a little getaway

A few weeks ago we AWESOME opportunity to travel "up north". A 4 1/2 hour drive took us to the very top of the mitten--Mackinaw City, MI. http://www.mackinawcity.org/ Members of our church very graciously offered us their cottage for the weekend--which was right on the water by the Mackinaw Bridge--beautiful!

The fall colors were gorgeous--the weather on the other hand, not so lovely. Our hopes of taking the ferry to the Island for the day were demolished when the strong wind and rain didn't let up. Instead we enjoyed walking around the small touristy shops in town, making t-shirts, eating fudge, doing a 500 piece puzzle, and watching movies. We kept busy by relaxing!

Even if our trip wasn't as eventful as we had hoped, we loved taking our first little vacation--just the two of us.
