Back from Vacation

Beth & I got away for an extended week of vacation last week.  We hauled the camper all the way up to Copper Harbor, MI (about 10 hours).  Copper Harbor is one of our favorite places.  Not only is it absolutely beautiful, but it has one of the best restaurants we’ve ever been to (Harbor Haus), and best of all–we get no cell signal or Internet.  It can be difficult to cut the cell phone umbilical cord, but after a day or so, it is very freeing.

It was also nice to spend a few days with my parents who also hauled their camper up, and our daughter Caroline, who was part of a music festival in the Upper Peninsula for that week.   This was Caroline’s first visit to the UP, and we gave it our best effort to give her a good Yooper experience.

We also stayed at a campground in Mackinaw for a couple of days where we sat on a bench near the water’s edge and watched one of the nicest sunsets over the Mackinaw bridge.   The week flew by very quickly, but Beth & I enjoyed getting away together.
