The title rhymes! Totally unintentional and totally irrelevant! Haha!

So I'm back! From an epic weekend road trip of a LIFETIME! With some of my favorite people EVER! Lots of pics on Facebook, if you're curious...most of which are from my amazing photographer friend, Kristina Reese!

I feel like there's just too much to blog about from this weekend...we left right away after I got out of work on Thursday. And by 'we,' I mean Kristina, Allie, and me. We stopped for food and headed to Allie's great aunt and uncle's house, where we ate MORE food--delicious fresh sweet corn and freshly baked cookies! We had the whole upstairs to sleep, where there were three beds (all different sizes). We even had our own bathroom! It was like a bed and breakfast! In the morning we had quite the breakfast spread of cereals, donuts, and fruit! YUM!

We jammed out the rest of the way to Mackinaw and set up camp. Apparently it was a high-class campground...the beach was amazing! And our tent looked pretty badass, if I do say so myself! Us girls explored downtown Mackinaw a bit and then met up with Tara Bell for some DELICIOUS chicken fajitas. We hurried to get ready and into our gorgeous dancing dresses because we had to catch the 6:30 ferry. We explored the island for awhile, walking around and such. Then it was ice cream time and time for a bit of shopping. OH! And we got old-time pictures taken! That was pretty fun! We were all scandalous bar maids ;)

Next we headed to the Grand Hotel for some fancy dancing in our fancy attire. And then we were all Cinderellas, heading to catch our ferry back to the mainland. We were pretty tired, and once we were all cozied in the tent, we chatted for a bit and then fell asleep. But boy did it RAIN that night! No worries, our tent kept us dry!

The next morning we packed up and headed back to downtown Mackinaw to shop. Then we crossed the beautiful Mackinaw bridge to eat at Clyde's drive in, where I got a delicious burger (we ALL did!) Then we drove along the coast for awhile so that we could meander along the beach. Pretty soon Allie, Kristina, and I had to be heading out, so we said good bye and headed to Interlochen. I swear, the GPS took us the CRAZIEST route! ALL back roads, basically! Oh well, more adventurous that way! We finally got to Interlochen and found my bro, who looked really happy to see us! We got a grand tour of the music camp and went to his concert (VERY impressive, lil bro!) We hung out more with Zach that night playing cards and whatnot. Then Zach had curfew and us girls were tired, so we split. The girls and I stayed in my friends Sarah and Lauren's suite, since their staffers at Interlochen (shhh! It's a secret!) I joined zach for breakfast in the morning and then we all walked around his camp and hung out a bit more. Then we had a picnic lunch and headed out on the road again to head back to Kzoo. I was pretty tired yesterday. And I felt pretty gross and grungy. (I spent the rest of the evening flossing, clipping my nails, tweezing my eye brows, et. I'm such a girly girl!)

Then work today. Plotting day for Bronco Bash! It was pretty eventful but not as bad as I thought. And from this point forward, I know that things are just going to get crazy with Bash stuff. But the momentum will be a lot of fun, I know it!

And now I'm being a bum and using up all of my spare time on the computer, since I barely was on the computer at work today. I know, it's lame, but I have lots of catching up to do with stuff! Maybe tomorrow evening will be more eventful....maybe....but probably not!
