We spent a wonderful weekend visiting Granny or GG as the kids call her (short for great-grandmother). Granny is doing pretty good for an 87 year old, still living her in own home. And she can beat anyone in Scrabble!
No trip in the summer is complete without picking raspberries from GG's patch. These berries have been filling bellies for at least 40 years. We picked in the mornings and evenings each day. Nothing says summer like fresh raspberries on your Cheerios!
We also went to Copper Harbor, which is the furthermost northern point in Michigan. It's a cute little town with shops and a few restaurants. Speaking of restaurants, we made sure to stop at Toni's for pasties. They were sooo good, wish they were available in Indiana. While in Copper harbor, Matthew found some bear slippers that he couldn't live without. He calls them his "bear feet". It's pretty sweet.
We also stopped at Eagle Harbor Lighthouse. We've visited this lighthouse each year for 3 years in a row. But the kids love to climb it and there really isn't much else in the area to do.
Looking up the spiral staircase.
No one goes to bed without a helping of ice cream and fresh raspberries. We had a really nice trip. I hope we're able to go up there for many more summers.
