This weekend, the Holman family is packing up the (borrowed!) pop-up and traveling north!
We have done this trip for about the last 5 years. We camp at Sleeping Bear Dunes during the fall. We aim for high color, but I think we will miss it this year. We should have gone last weekend, but it was Homecoming for Chuck, so no 80 degree camping in the fall for us. We don't care that we miss the high color, there will still be plenty to see. And I really don't care that it will be chillier and rainier, I think that makes better camping anyway.
So the plan is to go up on Friday night and stay until Monday. The kids don't have school, so it seemed like the perfect time to take a long weekend. We will probably end up finishing up set up about the time it gets dark, so after a quick dinner, I am looking forward to a nice fire. Bundled up, with smores and apples and caramel. Yummm!
While we are up there, we'll visit the dune climb and Glen Arbor. I am a huge fan of Cherry Republic, so we HAVE to go there. Tourist season is pretty much over, so nothing is to crowded. Just the way I like it. I would love to live in Glen Arbor. If I had a $1, 000, 000, (I would by you a green dress, but not a real green dress that's cruel)......sorry....side tracked.
Anyway, if I had a $1, 000, 000, I would by a house on Sleeping Bear Bay within walking distance of "downtown" Glen Arbor. I just love it there.
We will also drive Pierce Stocking Drive. It is a special place for us. Five years ago, I told Chuck that I was pregnant with Gabe there. Wish there was news this year. I always read the pamphlet as we drive around and try to teach a little ecology to the kids. Maybe this time we will get out and walk a couple trails.
The entire point of this trip is to relax. We won't spend the entire day in the car driving from place to place, or spend the whole time shopping. We will stay pretty local to the area and take in the breathtaking nature. Pictures to come next week!
