Upper Peninsula Day 1

Just a driving day.  Got a slightly later start than I would have liked but we still made it about 90% of the way there.  

The bridge was terrifying as per usual.  And naturally there was traffic so we got to enjoy just sitting on it.  😳

Not much to report.  At an Airbnb near Munising in Christmas, Michigan.  (Free wine though!)

Tomorrow we drive 3 hours more west and start our hike.

Giant wiener just south of the bridge.  Why?

The Great 2025 around Trip Day 17

Final day.  One last mini adventure before heading home.  Felt weird stopping for the day when we are maybe 90 minutes from home but we wanted to spend time with friends and not feel rushed. We went to Aullwood Audubon in the morning to see the giant trolls!  Brendan has not seen them yet.  And one last hike to boot! So cool. We were both getting really done with being on the road. One last push home! Made it back safely to one really confused and anxious kitty.   Got stuff mostly unpacked, laundry done and showered.  Looking forward to our own bed tonight.  All in all an amazing trip.  We're very glad we went!  Give me a week and I'll be ready to go again, lol. Miles driven: 5034 Miles hiked: 31 State count: 12

The Great 2025 Road Trip Day 11

Up at 5 to get in the park.  Weather finally turned last night.  About 20 minutes after we went to bed it started raining and the temps dropped.  Woke up to lower 50s but all snug and warm in our tent.  It was a struggle to get out in the cold and get moving.  Felt like The Long Trail and I LOVE it! It was FOGGY.  Probably the densest fog over seen.  Glad we were driving on a cliff.  💀  but we pressed on and miraculously got one of the LAST parking spots at Logan Pass.  This is seriously unheard of.   We got out and made coffee and hung out in the car waiting for the fog to lift.  I mean check out these views!   that's worth the 10 days and 2700 miles right there!  (Lol)  joking.  It gets better. We did a magnificent hike! About 5 miles round trip with something like 1800 feet of climbing overall.  It was rough but not impossible.  And so worth it.  ...

On the road again 🎵🎶 Nice short 3.5 hour drive to St. Louis today.  Going to stay with some friends and visit the STL crew.  Quite a few of Brendan's college chums live out there.  And one of my most favorite places; The City Museum!   If you're unfamiliar, keep reading.  It's not what you think and you'll see why it's one of my most favorite places. I know our trip is winding down and we'll likely be home in a couple of days and we both have mixed feelings.  Sad to go back to "real life" (even though I've been working this entire time) but will be nice to have a while house.  And I sure miss my little man.  Amazing day.  City Museum and dinner/drinks with old friends.  So City Museum...I didnt even take mamy photos because i immediately turn into a 6 year old when we get there.  Like we pay for tickets and I giggle and run off while Brendan has to run after me.  Here's the website but it's still not the best representat...
