What a wonderful, wonderful vacation we had in Michigan over Labor Day weekend. Jacki and Sean were wonderful hosts and it was great to have the sisters all together without kiddos running around. We even had the bonus of my cousin and her hubby joining us for part of the weekend. To able to take in downtown Ann Arbor, the campus, the bars (beer pong anyone?) and a college football game in an extended weekend was just great. It has been quite some time since I have taken in that much alcohol over a continuous period of time. What fun!
And do they know how to tailgate in Michigan - on the golf course fairway! It was pretty amazing to see so many cars and the golf course just packed with professional tailgaters - yard games, BBQ's that hook on your hitch, tents, individual port-a-potties in camoflage tents - it was all there and more. I guess that is what happens when you get 108,000 of your closest friends together on a Saturday. Jacki and Sean had us taken care of with our tailgating as well - I was quite impressed.
Of course, the time went way to quickly as it always does when you are with family (ok, it doesn't always fly, sometimes it creaps along with family), but in this case, we had a fun-filled weekend that provided many great memories. And time away from the kiddos always keeps us in check as well. Was great to have some "us" time - we took full advantage of it for sure.
