We only have a few more days before we fly out to Detroit. this was a quickly planned trip to see family and my grandmother who may or may not make it through these next holidays and as I can’t get the holidays off from work, its better to go sooner than later. Better to spend time while people are here rather than mourn our losses when they are gone. I will be driving to take pictures of Lake Huron which will be something new. That’ll be an achievement, having seen all 5 Great Lakes. Because this trip is fit into my son’s fall break, I only have three major things on the itinerary: Spend time with my grandma, have a paintball gun fight with some zombies and either hike or kayak the coast of Lake Huron. I am watching the forecast, looking to see if there is a possibility to see any Auroras while we’re up there. Fingers crossed, it looks like there might be two nights where the Kp index hits a 4 so we’ll see!!
Update: we are back and while I didn’t get any pictures of the Auroras, I did get some really beautiful pictures. Michigan is beautiful in the fall with the changing of the leaves!
This latest trip up to Quebec City with two stops on the way up and two stops on the way back down was quite alot of fun! Kinda crazy, true! But then it wouldn’t be one of our trips if something crazy didn’t happen on a trip! Fortunately, the only crazy thing that happened on this trip was getting stuck in a elevator for about 10 minutes till one of the hotel staff rescued us! The first stop was Valley Forge, PA and Philadelphia. Followed by a day at Fort Ticonderoga. The next two days were then spent in Quebec City where we hiked the Montmorency Waterfall…all 478 steps up and down! Yes, they have a lift for those who would rather not exercise that much but we had been sitting in the car for far too long! Besides, the massive downpour cooled us off after all that hiking so it was well worth the work for all beautiful shots! I also recommend renting a bike and biking around the Ille d’Orleans. It was wonderful stopping at the strawberry farm that has been on the island for more than 400 years along with Chocolaterie de Ille D’Orleans. And the Cassis Monna & Filles is a perfect spot for lunch and a glass of their wine. I am breaking up the individual cities into their own pages so just click on the link under their names to visit! Happy exploring!
