Driving up North

Debbie and I have lived in Arizona for almost 6 + years now and we've never driven up North of Fountain Hills. We've been to Flagstaff, Sedona and the Grand Canyon, but have not spent any time looking around Payson and Show Low areas. So today is the day we have decided to take a couple hour trip North to check out Payson and surrounding areas.

Mia is prepped for the trip as well. Here's a new outfit that Debbie picked up for her on her recent business trip to Los Angeles, CA.

Trip to Michigan

Debbie, Mia and I traveled to Michigan this past week. It was nice to get away and spend some quality time with my whole family.

On our way up to Traverse City, we stopped over at our Family Farm to see Andy, Halley and Julia.

In Traverse City we rented a large large condo on the East Traverse Bay with Marty and Angie and their kids Logan, Ethan and Parker.

Mia had her first experience swimming in a lake and crawling through the sand on a beach. We were also joined at the beach with my sister, Michelle, Bill and the kids - Kyle, Brad, Mitch and Sean.

We also got to see our Aunt Linda and cousins Spencer and Molly families. Marty, Spencer and I also had time to squeeze in 18 holes at the Bear golf course in Traverse City.

We also visited some friends on Torch lake which is the clearest water I have ever seen. Beautiful blue color.

Debbie, Mia and I had a great time getting away and Mia loved chasing the ducks around on the beach and playing in Lake Michigan.
