Detroit, Michigan (Thanksgiving 2016)

Detroit is one of our favorite places to go and visit family. Each trip brings new adventures and new memories. This was a quick weekend trip, but boy did we pack it full of fun.

Halloween. Here in Florida, it doesnโ€™t really feel like fall yet (read: itโ€™s still 90 degrees outside), so we have to participate in fall activities just to feel like we are participating in this season that the rest of the country gets oh so excited about.

Detroit Suburbs, Michigan

Warning: This post will be flooded with pictures of my family (like this precious picture of my 90 year-old Granny sticking her tongue out with me instead of taking a picture with me). My southern, sassy granny Detroit has such a bad wrap because of all of the foreclosures and bankruptcy. Most people don’t evenContinue reading “Detroit Suburbs, Michigan”

Ichetucknee Springs & Gainesville, Florida

I know what you are thinking…camping in the middle of the Florida summer? They\’re crazy right?
