We left Utah, flew back to Minneapolis to pick up our car and then started our three day trip through the UP and on home to Ann Arbor. We were able to see so many fun things and enjoy beautiful scenery. Madeleine complained in the car a lot (by complaining I mean screamed at the top of her lungs) but we tried to plan everything around her nap schedules and it actually worked out really well. She slept a lot and we didn't have to listen to too much crying. Actually she is now so used to falling asleep in the car that she falls asleep on short trips like to the doctors office, this can be seen as a plus or a minus.
Anyway, the only sad part of our trip is that our last day we had plans to go to Mackinac Island, the place I wanted to see most, but we awoke to black skies and pouring rain. We knew there was no hope for the ferry ride and visit to an island where cars are not allowed.
I can't complain about the trip as a whole. It was so fun and I am grateful to have a husband who loves to travel to random places just as much as I do!!
