Our car mishap (blessing) put us a bit behind so we had to move along...we crossed the border back into the US and headed west across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It was about a 2-hour drive to our next destination and there was nothing much around...except beautiful forests and an occasional small town (very clear at this point of God's Providence since a flat here would have meant days behind...no cell service, waiting for a kind passer-by, etc.).

| The Hiawatha National Forest...and not much else. |
We didn't have enough time to make it the whole way to our planned
destination but the point was to check off Great Lake #3. We happened to
be on a road with bunches of little beaches so we picked one and
marveled at yet another of God's amazing creations...this one Superior
;0)
Another 3+ hours and we landed in our hotel, again blessed because it was relatively empty which enabled me to purchase the adjoining room to use as a "schoolhouse" for the two to watch the recordings of their missed classes and catch up on their written work.
I felt less guilty about the extra room since we made out so well with dinner. We get random gift cards throughout the year for one thing or another so I had collected them all and taken them with us on our journey. There just happened to be a DQ right next to the hotel (ahem) so we ended up having dinner for $0.47. Go Green Bay!
Also, being not-Pennsylvania, I was able to pick up some mommy sleep aid while I was filling up my gas tank. My brother said it probably tasted like cheese. Lol.
It actually tasted remarkably like Iron City.
Well-fed and ready to start our night, my boys took advantage of one of their favorite pastimes this trip...the whirlpool bath.
Tomorrow was a "local" day but jam packed with all the wonders of Green Bay...Catholicism, cheese and giant trophies. Stay tuned.
We are blessed.
