The Upper Pennisula

Not much up here -- essentially a big pine forest on a lake.  Nonetheless, we found a Subway.  Starvation averted via avocado.

We've decided to abort on Duluth and booked a Hampton Inn outside of Minneapolis for the night instead.  Hotel options are not so good tonight in Duluth (busy time of year it seems) and this way we actually get a little farther west before end of day.

Wrapping Up Fountain Point

Our fantastic, annual visit to Fountain Point in Lake Leelanau, MI has officially ended. As usual, it is hard to leave, but we are worn out! The last few days were a frenzy of water skiing (yes, Aubry finally got it down!), ping pong, volleyball, tennis, Cherry Republic, kayaking, swimming, and Oberon fueled, marathon Texas hold'em.

Cherry Republic in Glen Arbor is a required stop each year. This is where we load up on our cherry themed treats. We love you, cherry sours!

There is also the group shot - easily one of the biggest challenges that faces us during the week. Thanks to Lynn for organizing this unruly crowd!

Now we are officially headed West! We will begin our trip with a drive through the Upper Peninsula. Hopefully we'll end up in Duluth, MN tonight.
