michigan at last!

after a week of illness, it took all of saturday and sunday to get organized to get out of dodge. all the fun stuff of laundry and packing and last minute "homework" to complete in order to leave for spring break. so we left yesterday(monday) instead of saturday as originally planned. mac and i hit the road two hours behind schedule so we missed his favorites on monday night tv (prison break and 24) but we made it to the cottage despite the late leaving and the rainy drive.  we are probably the only family in america who head north for spring break! but the lake is the lake even when it's cold and rainy! it's the vista that restores the soul! not too mention all the fun friends who live up here!

looking forward to seeing denise van eck and nick and the journey group crew sometime over the vacation.
congrats to randy, cathy, anna and jayden on the birth of baby nadia last night! the water's edge family just got bigger! hurray!
it seems like a lot longer than a month since we were hanging out in 16 inches of snow in dc/maryland!
hopefully we'll bring some sunshine to the great state of michigan while we're here! but we brought the boots and gortex just in case!
