Meeeeeechigan

When ever I think of the word Michigan one of the top things that comes to mind is one of my friends, Carly, saying MEEEEchigan.  Never Michigan, always MEEEEchigan - in my head.

Spencer and I went back to Michigan to see a game the 1st of October.  Sans kiddos.  My mom came up and watched the kids while we went frolicking in Ann Arbor.  We were able to visit with Spencer's sister; and Spencer's parents even flew in.  It was so much fun to go and just be together where our marriage started.  I had not been back for 5 years.  I loved eating at all our favorite restaurants and just being in Ann Arbor.  I will admit that I really started missing Mr. Grey.  The other two I missed, but not like my little man Grey.  Is that bad.  Maybe it because he just delights in me and I in him.

Spencer and I right outside of the treasure mart in A2 {Ann Arbor}, where I was up to my neck in milk glass.  I couldn't decide which pieces to get, so I kinda just bought most of it... Spencer just rolls his eyes.  I like to think in a very supportive way.  Then we headed over to Zingermans and gorged ourselves silly with sandwiches and yummy treats.  I tell you that when on vacation I eat like crap, good crap that is.  To the point of not being able to eat two days after getting home because I am sooooo full.


We went to Dexter's cider mill and once again enjoyed the good food of the earth & fryer - cider & Doughnuts.

 After which we went to the Arboretum. Walked a little and Spencer and I both sat there confused at why we never went there when we lived in A2.  What were we thinking?  It was chalk full of beautiful things, just a different beauty than in the west.  Forest/Trees and such.
I guess A2 has these day camps for children and one of which is making homes for the animals... see below.  It was so cute.  Hudson would LOVE that.

 

It was a good trip.  To visit where Spencer and I were thick in love... {not that we are not now... but ya know - I suppose I should say where we were starting out}, a nibble of some of our favorite foods... and to be with family.  Not to mention just being with Spencer.  It was a little trip well needed.

To top it off Michigan won!  Go blue.
