If you remember our goal was to be down at breakfast for the 6 am start. We made it down before seven and were on the road again by 7:30.
Driving through the U.P of Michigan is one of my favorite routes. The water is so blue and the Mackinac Bridge is just stunning. While driving over the top Jack claimed, "I would love to do a cannonball into the water from up here." Negative, kiddo.
Adam and I discovered that we are huge fans of the Sirius radio station 90s on 9. Who knew that I could sing Ice Ice Baby in its entirety or that together we do an awesome rendition of Mr. Big's, To Be With You. I must say in our time jamming to the music of our teenage years I learned a little more about my husband. Next time you see him have him tell you the story of his time in the Jazz Band and C&C Music Factory's, Sweat to You Bleed.
We made it to Green Bay at lunch time. We were served lunch by Heath and Lindsay. Heath is an awesome chef and works for the company who services Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Adam and I were dreaming of what he would make us on our drive; and he didn't disappoint - Grilled Lamb Chops and hand shaped sliders for lunch, delicious. Lindsay is Adam's cousin and she and Heath have two spunky, adorable children, with a third on the way. It was a lot of fun to watch the children play together. Little Miss Lucy has a vivid imagination and for awhile, Adam and I were instructed to take on the role of her beloved Poppy and Grammy, which Adam did with gusto.
Miles Traveled: 32 Miles (Green Bay, Wisconsin to Algoma, Wisconsin)
After we finished our visit we loaded back up in the car. We almost had a stowaway, but Lindsay finally managed to convince Lucy to stay with her.
This was a quick ride but it reminded us we were truly in Wisconsin. Adam had the windows down and the fragrance of the dairy farms brought him home. "I love this smell," he said.
We found our spacious two bedroom condo that we would call home for the weekend. A local fishing charter company has a few properties and we have rented from them on several of our visits to Adam's home town. It is nice to have a full kitchen, laundry, and space for the kids to play. If you are ever in Algoma I highly recommend checking out these condos.
We spent the evening with Josh, Adam's best friend from high school, his wife Nichole and their two kids Nora and Rex. Our kids played nicely together. They have a large yard and Nolan was in his element with all of the space and toys. I am pretty sure all that boy needs is a yard and the freedom to run and he is a happy two year old.
Later in the evening we were joined by Josh's brother, Ryan, his fiance Brandi and their little man, Cooper. It was a nice evening full of Busch Light and good conversation.
