Anniversary Weekend

No matter how long, or forever it seems at times, winter persists... spring always happens to some degree around our wedding anniversary. Joe managed to squeeze a couple of days off from work, so we started our weekend on Thursday. Since we were opting for a mini getaway to relax not too far from home, we first enjoyed a pasty picnic on our beach. Hard to believe only a few days ago we were shoveling 3 feet of snow!

Then we drove to Munising (45 minutes east) for an overnight trip. We stayed at the same wonderful place as last year, except this year we made sure their amazing restaurant/bar was open. Lots of businesses up our way close at the end of April for their last chance to relax/recharge before another crazy summer tourist season starts. 

Mmmm.... we tried and enjoyed quite a few exciting dishes over some well crafted cocktails. Very relaxing and enjoyable.

Next day we drove 3 and a half hours the other direction to Ironwood. We went to check out a few waterfalls, which were roaring as expected, and had a nice visit with P&J. 

Sunday as we got close to home... ah, sadly all fun vacations must come to an end... unexpectedly we spotted a moose on the opposite side of the highway. We turned around to take a closer look. He was close enough to the road, you needed to stay in your car. So our weekend adventure ended with a wild note for sure!
