Alex and I headed out on friday Feb. 23rd to drive to Wisconsin for a week. We had great driving weather and Alex is the best traveling buddy ever. We have a regular routine for our trip, we always stop to eat either in St. Ignace or Manistique at the Big Boy. They have room to run outside if it's nice enough, the Manistique one even has a playground, it's fast but not fast food and they always give Alex treats or a toy! I do have one gripe regarding the one in Manistique though - they have an automatic hand dryer in the bathroom that sounds like a fighter jet taking off and could literally blow a layer of skin off your hands with it's force. Because of this hand dryer, Alex is now afraid of all public restrooms.
In the next posts I will include some pictures. We got to do a lot and see alot of people! In that week we got to go to Mary's baby shower, visit with family in New London, go to Chicago to the Shedd Aquarium, do some shopping, spend a day with friends in Green Bay and I got to go to the opening reception for my mom's gallery exhibit in Plymouth!
We had planned on coming home friday but they weather was awful everywhere so we waited until saturday. We had one false start on saturday morning, we tried to leave town but Alex had a really bad coughing fit and threw up all over the carseat :(
Thank goodness we were only about 10 min down the road, we headed back to Grandma and Papa's house for some assistance.
About 4 hours, a couple loads of laundry, lots of scrubbing, some Fabreeze, lunch and a nap later we hit the road again!
