U of M vs. OSU
This weekend we went back to Michigan to visit family and go to the University of Michigan football game against OSU. Though was cold, rainy, and MI lost, it was still a lot of fun to experience Michigan tailgating again and see our friends. Hopefully we will be able to go back for another game next season.

Camping at Freeman Park
We headed back to Carolina Beach, NC this weekend and camped at Freeman Park. The weather & water was nice. We had a great time. I especially enjoyed laying on the beach and looking up to the night sky filled with tons of stars from the tent. Justin and I saw quite a few shooting stars. Keego had fun too.

Houseboating on Lake Cumberland
It was that time of year again to head out to Jamestown, KY for another Houseboat trip. This is the 5th year that Justin and I have gone with a group of friends. For the past five years, we have rented a boat from State Dock. The scenery was extra interesting this year with the lake levels being so low. The water level was lowered by more than 40 feet earlier this year due to concerns of the Wolf Creek Dam’s safety. You could really notice the difference on the shoreline from past years. The weather was nice - hot and tons of sun. It was nice to see friends from Detroit and relax on the lake.

Keego Goes to the Beach
This weekend Keego got his first sniff of the ocean. We headed over to the Carolina Beach area to camp for the weekend. He liked playing in the water and the waves. This is such a nice beach. This was also our first time going to Carolina Beach. Definitely going back!

Adventure on the Golf Cart
We visited Justin’s mom and dad over the weekend. It was nice to hang out at the Trondo with them. We took a ride on the golf carts to go get ice cream one night. Sam also wanted to go.

Detroit Tigers vs. Cleveland
Justin and I went to the Detroit Tigers game when they were playing Cleveland at home. This is such a great stadium. Here is some history behind the different stadiums that the Tigers have played. Also as an FYI - they have a pretty impressive fireworks show on Friday nights. Always love going games at Comerica Park.

Canoeing and Camping on the Buffalo River
Justin and I went on a great canoe and camping trip on the Buffalo National River this past weekend. In the heart of the Ozarks, the Buffalo River was America’s first national scenic river in 1972. The 150-mile-long free flowing Buffalo offers both swift-running and placid stretches, towering limestone bluffs, woodlands, trails, and nature watching opportunities. I really wished we were staying for longer than a weekend. We canoed during the day and then set up camp on the side of the river for the night. We canoed around 35 miles of the river starting west of Ponca and canoeing to just past Hasty. This stretch of the river has class I and II rapids which keep you on your toes. I can’t wait until we have an opportunity to go back and explore more including the waterfalls off some of the trails.

Broad Street Run - Philly
Today Debbie and I ran in the Broad Street Run in Philadelphia, PA. The run supports the American Cancer Society. The funds collected go towards research, financial support to patients, and education to encourage cancer prevention and detection.
This was my first 10 mile run and I am happy to report I finished! It was a lot of fun and great to run around the Philadelphia downtown area. I hope I have the opportunity to run this race again next year. If you are interested in signing up click here for more information.

Appalachian Trail
Today Justin, Debbie, Jason, and I walked part of the Appalachian Trail in Pennsylvania near the Lehigh Valley. This was my first experience walking on the Appalachian Trail which made me even more interested to explore even more of it. We walked a nice section that lead us up to a bluff. It was a great feeling to get to the top.
