So, here's the "road" part of our trip. It rained...downpoured, actually for most of the day!
The girls were able to put their toes into Lake Huron...it rained about 5 minutes after this moment.
We are big "great lake" fans. I love them all and the kids want to swim in all of them.
A tradition...to write our names in the sand at every beach we visit.
We couldn't find much to "do", since it was so rainy, but we stopped at nearly every roadside farm market we saw, and bought something, whether it was a bag of fresh green beans or a box of red haven peaches. We had fun just chatting up the locals and running between the raindrops. We stopped at a little diner type place to eat. No popular chains are allowed on these trips. You must always eat the local fare! So, we ate at a place called B's, which the girls thought was funny. I guess they read it as BS. Don't ask me why they would know what that means. I don't use that term at all! Anyway, the food was pretty good and the servers were friendly. After that we stopped at another farm market where they sold "gucci" purses and handmade jewelry. Only in Michigan, my friends! We finished off our trip at the famous cheese factory, where we bought what else, cheese!
No matter what the weather, we had a good family time. We needed to get out and see something different, and we accomplished that for sure. Sadly, we did not find our beloved pie, but we bought plenty of fruit to make one at home!

I remember road trips with my family...each of us would take a turn deciding which way to turn at each stop sign. we LOVED it...although I'm sure most trips we drove in circles!
This may be one of my most favorite posts of yours...LOVE this!
