i don't want to write a novel here because, well, i have about 150 photos to share......
yikes....
so, in summary, we decided to brave a trial road trip this year in hopes we can make it further next summer....
it actually went really well....
we were pleasantly surprised.... :)
of course, there's the million potty breaks and the "are we there yets" about every 20 minutes.... but that was expected....
we traveled through the UP of Michigan, along the shores of lake Michigan, and all the way to Lake Huron....
we made a side trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore....
i highly recommend it....
the boys had such a blast running and climbing the dunes....
and the view of the lake was spectacular.....
definitely one of the highlights of our trip....
we then made our way to Mackinac Island, Michigan for a few days.....
we had lots of fun going for a ferry ride, wandering the island, watching the horses, letting the boys run wild without the worry of cars, checking out Fort Mackinac, tasting the fudge, and biking around the whole island..... making many stops (err, breaks...gus freaked out on the tag along so i got to pull a burley--somewhat exhausting...ha!) along Lake Huron to play in the water and look for "sea" glass and cool rocks....
Lake Huron was absolutely stunning with it's crystal clear, blue and teal waters.....
all in all....a lovely little trip.....
hoping it is something the boys will always remember....
if not, I have it documented with plenty of photos..... :)
now, on to the photos of the liester family road trip 2016......
