Vacation Gone South


We just returned from the worst vacation ever.  Well, there was a little ray of sunshine; our daughter did get to spend some Christmas time with her grandparents and was happy.  As for myself, intestinal flu struck on the second day and it was all suffering from there on out.  A round of head colds for the whole family freeted us upon our return to cap things off properly.  I have to put a humorous spin on this whole mess just to keep my spirits up.

During the 15 hour drive home, including stopping at nearly every rest area, the wife and I decided to limit our road trips to a 300 mile radius for the time being.  This is all fine with me since I have been longing to return to my roots of traveling Michigan and all her natural beauty.  It's amazing how many trips I have taken 'Up North' and still can find so many hidden gems left unexplored.

It's so true what you wrote about Michigan. It seems like every little corner has something amazing hidden there.

It's sad how your vacation was ruined because of sickness. I know "the wife" was looking forward to going again.

The husband just asked me yesterday if I'd like to go there. I've never been, so what the heck!
I believe we are looking at March. I'll have to get some insider advice from y'all.

Tell Shelly I said Hi!

Definitely a place worth visiting, especially if you love history and great food. Touring a few plantations/gardens, old mansions downtown, and shopping down King Street will keep you occupied for a couple days at least!
