Sisters Trip 2009!
me, Janie, Julie, Jill
Ok, just refer to Janie's blog....she told it so well! I will just add my favorites. We probably wouldn't have chosen Michigan for our travel destination if Janie didn't live there. I'm so glad we went because this is probably the last year for them in Michigan. Ann Arbor is just the cutest little-ish college town with the most loyal football fans I have ever seen....well I don't really follow loyal football fans but I'm just saying I didn't see anyone anywhere without a yellow (maize) Michigan t shirt on game day.
The Ward home is on a quiet, nice, tree lined street only a few blocks from the famous University of Michigan stadium. (That's a big deal in these parts)
Mackinac Island was the best, I wanted to stay a week! Nothing motorized is allowed on the island, so no traffic. It was so quiet, just bikes and horses and pedestrians. The 8 mile ride around the island was perfect, 75 degrees, wooded, shady, flat, easy riding!

This is the island where the movie "Somewhere in Time" was filmed. (Mackinac trivia)
Charming! That is the word that best describes Mackinac Island.
Lunch on the waterfront.

I loved our walking tour through the University of Michigan campus. No wonder the fans are crazy loyal, it is very impressive.
We dropped Julie off at the airport early on her bday morning and we had a couple of hours until our flight so we took a quick tour of downtown Detroit. Janie and Dan took us to this fabulous pastry shop, sorry you missed it Julie! But, Happy Birthday! Sorry you spent it all in airports!
Thank you Janie for planning a fun sisters trip for us! And thank you Dan for babysitting and sharing your work with us!! Thanks to Andy, Abby, Jake and Estee for sharing your mom with her sisters for a few days! Love you!

I have the cutest mom, aunts, and Grandma ever! Glad you all had fun! I bet you were so relieved you didn't have to be picked up from the airport this time with a screaming baby to listen to the whole way home :) By the way Janie how lucky you guys are almost done! I'm so happy for you!
How fun to go with your mom and sisters on a trip.
So fun to read about it again! I laughed at the (some famous Detroit landmark) part. Too bad Julie missed out on that part!!
