Road Trip Family

A little delayed, but after we left Georgian Bay, we drove north through Sault Ste Marie, Canada and back into the US.  We loved the beautiful drive across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and stopped to have  picnic dinner at an elementary school.  It was one of the sweetest parts of our entire trip.



After staying the night in Michigan, we continued driving south through Wisconsin (hence the cheese heads) and back to Chicago where our adventure began.  We had Kate in a cheese head too but couldn't keep it on her long enough for a picture!
 
Back in Chicago we stopped by "the bean" - so cool and a fun place to take pictures.  We had already done the zoo on the front end of our trip with our friend Christy Parker (sorry no camera that day) and now we enjoyed seeing more of the city. 


It seems like so long ago now that I am just getting to putting these pictures on the blog, but we had a wonderful long trip and really enjoyed it all.  I will remember that the kids did great in the car and long drives worked well leaving just after lunch and driving into the night with the kids in their pjs.  With these two summer road trips behind us we are encouraged for more family adventures to come!

You guys are quite the adventurers... SO good for you all. And with two troopers. Love the picture of Brooks in front of the Bean... that thing is so cool and you caught a great shot of the Chi-town skyline. That city... love it.
