a couple weeks ago, we flew up to michigan to see gma and poppy and had a blast!
we spent our days playing on the lake, eating good food, and even snuck in a trip to chicago!
mike and i had never been so we thought it'd be fun to show the boys a new city, food, and museums and even got to take a "real train" to get there!
it was an awesome little vacation and we can't wait to go back next summer!

ps-big shout out to my little brother on his 31st birthday today!
he's smart, kind-hearted, witty, handsome, and is the only funny one in this family.
the boys couldn't understand why we couldn't jump on a plane and head down to his med school (in the caribbean...yes, boys, i wish we could...) and have mommy cook him a birthday dinner and cake.
i suppose this is all i'm good for...cooking food. :)
but really, we love love you, uncle vince, and miss you terribly! we'll see you in a few weeks!
