iphone snippets-mackinac island

August 23, 2012

I barely had a day of rest until I was off again! This time I headed to Mackinac Island with my dad and Mago. We biked around the island (taking many rest and water breaks for Mago), explored the hotel grounds (where most of Somewhere in Time was filmed-one of my all time favorite movies), took a short nap, had a picnic in the park, walked around the downtown, saw the sunset, swam in the pool, watched the stars from the lawn, and….took a near midnight bike ride to try out our vintage bike lights (they work great by the way!). Wow! What a day! I was extremely tired by the end of the day.

The next day we took it easy compared to the previous day. We sat out on the big lawn and enjoyed the beautiful morning, checked out of the hotel, explored the shops and I got my required chocolate covered strawberries. mmm. Then we headed out back on the ferry to the mainland. It was a fun day and a half but I’m also looking forward to taking it easy for the next few days (other than the large number of orders that need to be mailed-it’s a good thing I love what I do). Have you taken any short, but fun, trips lately?

iphone snippets-being silly

August 22, 2012

 

After such an exhausting weekend, both physically and emotionally, it was nice to be home and relax and be a little silly. I wrapped Molly B. up in my coat to head outside and sit by the fire. She played along for a few photos but then she just wanted out. It was super funny when she was pushing against me with her little paws.

iphone snippets-memory lane

August 21, 2012

I am still without my camera chord so I am still sharing iphone pictures. I will back to normal posting next week and I will also explain more about what I’ve been up to along with better pictures. Basically though the last few days and over the weekend I have taken a super fun, crazy, exhausting trip down memory lane. Being in Michigan for so long this summer has given me the opportunity to see so many friends I’ve not seen in years and felt like I was neglecting. While visiting friends I also got to hang out with my mom a bit, as she came along, and we stayed at the cutest bed and breakfast in my old college town. (The last picture is actually from my campus-it’s where I took so many of my math and physics classes-oh memories).
