Wow, was today a long day! We woke up early early early for sunrise. It was really pretty, but very early. The sun came up in vivid pinks and oranges over the lake. And it was so still and quiet out. After sleeping for a few more hours, we woke up for adventurizing around Mackinac Island. We took the Shepler's Ferry over to the island. We rode on the top of the ferry, which was pretty chilly. Welke was frozen, understandably. We got there and started exploring ar...

So today was a nicely done day of travel! We all woke up to get ready at a normal time! Then we got coffee and hit the road! We leisurely drove up to St. Ignace where we have our hotel for the weekend. Not too much traffic. It was just so nice to just chat with them. I haven't seen my girlfriends in months all together! It is so easy to talk to them. There is nothing better than traveling with good friends! We have taken so many fun pictures! We are definitely pe...

Not much happened today. Welke and I got to the airport by 3:30 for our 5:00 flight. The flights were fine. A little bit of turbulance. Flights just don't make me feel well.

We chatted for most of the night and then went to bed since most of us got less than 5 hours of sleep the ...

So today we woke up late again! Normally I don't like waking up late, but then again it is vacation. Welke and I went to the pool for a little more color. :-) I'm getting there. A little more red than tan, but I'll take what I can get. After the fun in the pool, we had to go to Welke's school cause she had a meeting to go to. That was totally ok with me cause I had to get some organ practice in. I ended up practicing for an hour, which was quite amazing. After ru...

Today has been a completely lazy day and it has been fantastic. We slept in and I actually was able to sleep in til 8! Then Welke and I went out to sit by the pool for a little bit. I got to finish my book and start a magazine. I love getting so much reading done over vacation. Then we decided to go mini golfing. There was a bet going - girls vs. boys - whoever loses buys the winners Sonic happy hour! So it was on! Actually the boys won pretty easily. But we st...
