Vacation in Northern Michigan

This past week Jeff was on vacation so we took off to Mackinaw City for the week. We had a great time. The weather could not have been any better. Logan did great beside our last day. He started getting a little whiny around 5:00 pm but he hadn't napped for 2 days in a row and my boy needs his sleep :0)

We stayed in Mackinaw City and our first day there we just hung out around town. The next day we drove to the UP and then the next day we went to the Island. Our last day we hung out for a few in the morning before we left got a few pics and a round of Putt-Putt in before heading home. Jeff and I went to Tahquamenon Falls and to Oswald's Bear Ranch when we got married back in "99" so it has been a while. The Falls are just as spectacular as I remember. The Bear farm has changed a lot. If your ever in the UP both places are a must see.

We all had lot of fun with some first for all of us. Logan's first included a Boat ride, seeing some waterfalls, walking in a river, building a bear (or in his case Barry the dog) and getting up close & personal with a Bear cub. Jeff and my firsts were petting a bear cub and seeing a Bald Eagle in the wild. I did not include that in Logan's first because I am not sure if he seen it or not. He was in the middle of the back seat strapped in his car seat. We were driving and there it was, it was so cool, I had to full over and get a picture.

Any ways, I'll let the pictures tell our story, enjoy!
