Okay, so I know I said I was going to finish posting about our trip...but time has gotten away from me and I just don't have time to do that. Besides, there are other things that I'd like to post. I just moved into my college dorms today and I feel like, if I wait until I post about the end of the Michigan trip in full, I may not blog for a very long time.
I'll go ahead and sum up the last day in Michigan and our traveling home.
The last day of our trip we went to see the Soo Locks in Sault Ste. Marie (pronounced soo saint Marie). They were enormous and the water filled them up very quickly. After watching the locks for a while, we bought fudge, which was delicious. I love fudge. I really do. At any rate, we started back towards our campsite from the Locks and decided to stop by a lighthouse on the way. It was a rather strange looking lighthouse, but we heard a brass quintet that was very nice. We also tried a beef pasty. The boys didn't like it much, but I thought it tasted fine. After we were done at the lighthouse, we finally went back to the camp and spent a good deal of the evening alternating playing cards with packing.
The trip to Knoxville (we took two days getting all the way back to our house) was supposed to be at least 14 hours long. We managed to do it in 13.5. The plan was to leave at 6, but ended up not leaving until about twenty after. Evidently, it didn't make much of a difference. We had a little rain, but no traffic to speak of. Since it was a Sunday, we didn't have to worry about rush hour. We arrived at my grandparents' house in Knoxville at 8:15 and ate dinner there.
The next morning, my dad and brothers worked on the house we own in Knoxville while my mom, grandmother, and I went shopping for dorm stuff. Then we left Knoxville, homeward bound, at about 3 and got home at 4:50.
So that was the last three days in a nutshell. I'll catch you up on the dorm/college info. at a later time.

So you like fudge but you don't like chocolate??? That's "barely rational". (I wouldn't have caught on to that term had I not taken a "new math" course when I went back to UT as an adult. We didn't have that when I was a teenager--although I can't say I really remember what it means.)Ha!
Love you lots! Nana
Who said I don't like chocolate?? I don't like DARK chocolate, but I could get fat on milk chocolate. I don't particularly love chocolate fudge because it often is made with dark chocolate. :)
Love you too!
