Michigan Trip, Part 7

August 22 was the sad day when we had to leave Michigan. L Our two weeks had flown by far too fast.

Before we left our friend’s cottage, we girls kept our tradition of coloring rocks for each other to commemorate our time together.

Once we finally parted ways and headed south, Ben drove us part of the way. It was my first time riding in the car with him driving. I have to say that he did quite well!

For lunch, we stopped for sandwiches at Arby’s.

It was taking us a good while to get to St. Louis (our stopping point for the night). So instead of waiting to get into our hotel and then going out to dinner, we opted to stop at Cracker Barrel along the way.

We made it to our hotel and crashed pretty quickly. Traveling can really wear a person out! We had some fun plans for the next day though . . .
