Up in Travers City for Easter

For Easter we went to Travers City, to visit Amy’s Family. We stayed at Amy’s Grandfather’s Farm House in Empire 20 minuets out side of Travers City. The Boys were very excited to stay at their Great grandpa’s, so much so they wanted to bring him home with us to live here.

On Sunday the Easter bunny came and the boys got lots of eggs, their Easter bunnies, and new kites. Rodney said that great grandpa must have a different Easter Bunny then we do. We spent the rest of the day at Amy’s parents home near down town Travers City, and had much fun.

Our Happy Place


Ok I have final finish the book that almost every one in the world is reading right now. So I have past Harry Potter on to my wife (who has been giving me every chance to read it so she can) I now have time to Post a new blog.

This past week-end we all went to Amy’s aunt Carols cabins for vacation. We have all been there many times in the past but this was the first time in years for us. And this was David’s First time ever.

We left early Saturday morning and drove straight there with out any traffic. I was hopping to have a certain book in my hands; however I was told I need to wait. We arrived about 3:30 pm, a half an hour earlier than expected. Our cabin was not ready as of yet, witch was ok. The boys, after getting a look around the cabins and meeting Amy’s Aunt and Uncle, took off to go play in the woods. Amy and I settled in at the camp fire and talked with Amy’s Aunt and Uncle. After we moved in Amy’s Parents, Brother, sister, and her sister’s boy friend all came for dinner. We all gathered around the fire and enjoyed each other company. (Me and Amy’s uncle Jimmy had a few beers.)

The next day (Sunday) we again relaxed around the fire and the hammock. I found the hammock was very relaxing. In the afternoon we all went to the beach that was part of the Sleeping Bear National Park. That Night the girls had girls’ night out. Me and the boys hung out with Jimmy and Shane at the cabins and had dinner.

The next morning we all went out to Amy’s Grandfather’s Farm house to celebrate both Rodney’s and my birthday (mine is Aug 5th Rod’s is Aug 18th). We had hot dogs and chili, and then Rod and I shared a cake. Rodney got lots of Transformers and I got the Book I had been weighting for all summer. So the rest of the day was spent, for me, try to read Harry Potter. I sent a very blissful 2 hours in the hammock with my head phones on, drinking a beer, and reading my book.

We came home on Tuesday with much kicking and screaming. Of course that was Amy and I, the boys were ready to come home.

It was a very good week-end both Amy and I have decided that the Cabins are our happy place. We always enjoy it, and have a good time. I look forward to going again.

Our trip Up to Travers City

This week we went to Travers City, Michigan to see Amy’s parents and grandfather. We were up there from Thursday to Saturday. We could have stayed there until Sunday but we needed a day at home after a long trip. We all had a good trip and really enjoyed our selves. We stayed at Amy’s grandfather’s farm house in Empire just 30 minutes out side of Travers City. The boys really looked forward to going there and love playing out side. The only problem was in was a little cold and there was 6 inches of snow.

Wile there I started to teach Rodney and David how to play pool and we played my new board game, Carcassonne. We went to a great restaurant in Empire for lunch on Friday with Amy’s Grandpa, and it was really good. They had some vegetarian meals for us witch were very good. That night we went to the city to eat dinner with Amy’s parents. Wile we were there the boys got to play video games and I played Carcassonne and Dreamblade with Shane, Amy’s 11 year old brother. We slept one more night at the farm house and the boys got to spend time talking to great grandpa.

On Saturday we went to have lunch again at Amy’s parents then we came home. The new van made the trip quite nice, and the boy’s colored and read comics most of the trip. We all enjoyed our selves.

Also I did not put back on any of the weight I lost wile on the trip. I’m now at 285lbs! the diet is working
