Hailey’s First Trip Up North

This trip was a big adventure for the family.  We enjoyed time with the extended family at our traditional Up North spot, Cable, WI.  Some highlights were hiking to the falls, the family gathering at house, canoeing on Lake Namakagen, hanging out at the Loon Saloon, and visiting with cousins next door.  Note that the 24 hours in the car did not make the list 😉

Hailey did an awesome job in the car.  We didn’t have to make a single Hailey-screaming-emergency stop.  Our planned breaks every three hours or so worked like a charm.  Eddie, on the other hand, gave us a good run for our money when he had the runs on the way home.  Chicago, I thank you for the plentiful oases along the Tri-State.

 

Hailey loved every bit of our first stop to visit friends Todd, Tracy, and Maggie in Indy--except the princess dress.
