I know it has been a while, that posts have been few and far between. But prepare. Today I printed eight pages of directions with nine exciting stops for our upcoming road trip. Year of Fun as travel blog is back!
I’m also prepping for a fun announcement. And for making up all those posts I’ve missed-notes on everything, posts just need to be written. Get ready for an onslaught of fun!
Day 305
The hubs and I drove to Iowa with a car FULL of garage sale items. I mean it was packed. The entire trunk and back seat up to the ceiling held old blankets, extra pots and pans, and clothes. Oh, the clothes.
Day 306
I might have written about this before, but I love a good garage sale. The early morning rush, the continued merchandising, slashing prices, doughnuts, and sitting around all morning with my sister chatting it up. The. Best.
Also, the hubs and brought our bikes and, after the garage sale, rode the Greenbelt path from Madcreek to the highway.
Day 307
On the way back to Chicago, we made a detour to see my grandmother to discuss our upcoming birthday. OK our birthday is in January but it is on the same day and it is a big birthday (30 and 90!) so we have some planning to do.
We also did a quick stop in Iowa City so I could show the hubs all the cool places I used to go in high school after I was allowed to drive out of town. A fun Iowa day-and weekend-for sure.
As Team Prius left Michigan after a weekend full of adventures, love and dancing, we made one last stop at Meijer for snacks and a bathroom break. In the parking lot was the only other Airstream I had seen since Emily and Ian bought theirs. Now I’m seeing them every where! A good omen indeed for adventures to come.
What can I say about the renewals? Our friends got married five years ago, when neither of us knew them, on a beach in Michigan. They’ve taken a lot of adventures since then, including a few months in Asia, a move to Chicago, a bike trip down the California coast and, most recently, starting their own business and purchasing land in northern Michigan. It was on this beautiful land that we celebrated their five years of marriage with tons of people who love them. The hubs and I love having Emily and Ian in our lives and can’t wait to see what this next adventure has in store for them! Much love.
If that doesn’t look and sound fun enough, Emily also organized a northern Michigan Instagram scavenger hunt called the M22 Olympics. So fun. Like whoa.
year of fun
