This post is another installment in the series documenting our trip to the states of Minnesota and Michigan in the summer of 2015. Our daughter, Kyra, was 16 and out of school on summer vacation, so she joined us on our two week whirlwind tour of the M&M states.
It wasn’t until I escaped from the work force almost six years ago that I made documenting our travels a priority. Yes, I always took tons of photos and kept all of my planning documents, but with working, running a household, raising kids and supporting their extracurricular activities, taking the time to write about our adventures was never high on my list. Over the past few years, I’ve been s-l-o-w-l-y catching up. Putting pen to paper after the fact stirs a couple of different emotions – chagrin (because I’m just so darned far behind) and pure pleasure (because reliving our adventures always generates a rush of delightful memories).
