My husband, Dan, and I have been traveling around MI for the past week and loving it. We started by heading up to Taquomenon Falls, which neither of us had seen as adults. We stayed in the state park and hiked down to the falls. Next, we headed over to Pictured Rocks Lakeshore and backpacked for a few nights. We love that area and Lake Superior was as beautiful as ever(but scarily warmer). While backpacking we saw a really big snake, a rabbit, tons of chipmunks and squirrels, and one night a coyote visited our site. After that, we drove down to Petoskey and met up with my brother and his two kids at the state park and stayed there two nights. This was Dan's first time to the homeland, so we had lots to show him. We went into town, we went by our old house, we went put-putting were we put-putted as kids, and we went to Walloon Lake. The trip was awesome and relaxing, but it was the calm before the storm.
