With the kids being on spring break last week, we took a quick trip with some friends to northern Michigan so we could experience some skiing and also check out Boyne Mountain's waterpark, Avalanche Bay. The kids seemed to enjoy being on skis, more so the second day at Nubs Nob than the first at Boyne Mtn. As for me, I need to figure out how to stop before I take on anything but a small bunny hill. I just couldn't get the knack of making a successful wedge/snowplow/pizza to make myself slow down and stop. Next year.
The boys really enjoyed Avalanche Bay and being able to go from winter to summer in about 15 minutes. Although a bit pricey (what isn't these days), it was worth it just to be reminded what summer is like.
Since we were in Petoskey already, we decided to make the 30-mile trek north just to see the Mackinac Bridge. I wanted the kids to see what it looked like with ice instead of water underneath; and besides seeing the real Big Mac never gets old for me. I always look forward to when it first appears in the distance and no matter how many times I see the bridge, it always inspires awe.
The clear skies on Saturday evening made for a nice backdrop for photo taking too.
