We then traveled to MI for a week to see my family. The weather in MI was a lot cooler than GA, so we were able to do more activities outside. We went kayaking down the AuSable River, biking on Mackinac island and attended my 10 year high school reunion. We also had a family get together with my aunts, uncles and cousins so that they could meet Christopher and Alfonso.
With the exception of me contracting a 24 hour stomach virus, it was a wonderful vacation! Christopher is a great traveler, and handled himself very well on the planes and airports (with 6 flights and 5 airports total).

The straits of Mackinac (The Mackinac Bridge is the 6th largest suspension bridge in the world. It's 50 years old this year.)
The water of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron looked absolutely beautiful. Amazing colors of blue and teal, it reminded me of the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii.
The only modes of transport are by horse and bike. No cars are allowed!

Hi! You recently posted on my blog, so I thought I'd check yours out! Where is home in Michigan? I don't know if you figured out that that's where I live. We're in Muskegon. I'm originally from Wisconsin, but have fallen in love with Michigan and don't ever want to move!
Your Christopher is absolutely adorable!
Thanks for the advice! I'm not very good at slowing down. This week alone, I've worked 5 hrs/3 days with an autistic girl(I provide behavioral care services through the state), painted a hallway and 6 doors, and cleaned my house. Everyone is telling me I need to take it easy, but I planned to get all the last big projects done this week and then hopefully I can relax till baby comes!
I know I'll have trouble letting things go once baby's here - I'm going to have to do a better job of listening to my body and letting my husband do more around the house - that's hard for me!
Anyway... I've enjoyed looking at your pictures! I look forward to posting baby pictures soon myself!
