Went to Steph's dad's grandpa's old farm and house just to snap a couple of pictures... and lo and behold the current owners are family! The gal we talked to remembered some of Steph's aunts and uncles from when they grew up and would visit grandpa's farm! We took pictures and went in the house and talked for about an hour or so. We exchanged contact information and got a bunch of info about Steph's dad's genealogy (which is a big deal... since we had been hitting road blocks in that area). It was great to see the excitement in Steph's face and to enjoy those moments with her. We then went to a local cemetery and were able to find the graves of Steph's great grandma and great grandpa.
After Saranac, we went to Sandusky, OH to meet up with Allen's sister (Maria) and her family. It was great to see them. Steph had never met Tim before and our girls had never met Maria's girls or Tim before either. We went out to dinner at Outback (had a good experience this time... Outback green beans are the best on the planet) and caught up a bit. I had forgotten how much I liked hanging out with them. Though we'll still be a bit away from them in MA, it's nice to be in the same time zone as them.
Now for the pics...
Michigan really is beautiful. This pic is simply trees along the highway, but is typical of how green and beautiful most of Michigan is. Had no idea.
