Last Friday, we drove to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan -- lovingly referred to as the UP. It's a gorgeous area. We met up with Mel & Leif, and Penny & Chris at the house we rented for a few days. It was filled with taxidermy and loungers. It even had a Christmas tree -- and was extremely comfortable for the group of us. To get to the house, we traveled down a remote dirt road that was off the beaten path from any GPS mapping for a couple of miles (thank goodness for good written directions from the host) before we came upon the cabin. It was on a huge plot of land, and overlooked one of the lakes on the Fortune chain of lakes. We had kayaks, canoes and even a row boat available for use. Too bad it rained most of the weekend, but we were still able to enjoy most of it. The first night we stayed in and had brats and sipped Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream Liqueur from measuring cups while watching the World Cup and just enjoying each other's company. Mel had flown in from New York City that morning (talk about going from one world to the next), and Brian had gotten in late the night before from a work trip in Nashville. Needless to say, we were all exhausted. But also happy to be there. It really is a special place.
