Mackinac Island

The sunset was beautiful. In the distance you can see Mackinaw Bridge. It connects the upper and lower penisulas of Michigan. Pretty nifty.

We went on a horse/buggy ride around Mackinac. The ride began right during Luke's nap time which made me mega-nervous. Luke NEVER falls asleep in Jer or I's arms...what a horse/buggy and Grandpa can do!
Our first horsie ride!
According to our tour guide, National Geographic labeled this as the most beautiful site in Michigan. I would have to agree.

Mackinac Island

My parents, Luke and I made a quick trip up to Mackinac Is.. Mackinac is located between the lower and upper penisula of Michigan. It was gorgeous. We hit the perfect weekend...mid-60s, pure sunshine and the leaves were at their peak in color. This was my first time in upper Michigan and it's gorgeous. We had a great trip!

This was Luke's first time in a hotel room. Him and I were roomates! Let's say, we had a little party of our own around 4 am.
My dad and I took a bike trip around the island (no cars are allowed on the island). It was so gorgeous! Here's a sample of what we saw.
Another view on our bike ride.
Dad and I being silly! Like my glasses?!? I do!
Luke has the room key in one hand and the survey of the hotel in the other. What a ham!

Chicago

Over Labor Day weekend we visited friends who live in Chicago. They live downtown near Wrigley Field. We had a blast and Luke loves company--especially when we are visiting! Check out some pictures.

Here we are standing infront of a large bean that showed our reflection. It was pretty cool.

Here is Luke and Madeline Nelson. They are pretty cute together!

Okay, Madeline is super cute. She actually fell asleep in this position.

Jeremy and Luke infront of Wrigley Field. Super fun place to live. Lots happening and everyone is the same age--right out of college/beginning families. Super fun.

The Nelsons brought us to the Millenium Park downtown. They had this neat water fall that kids were playing in...Luke wanted to sit down and crawl but I did not want his hands on the dirty cement. He liked it!
