7/18/2019 – Ishpeming, MI #MAKPOSTINUP4LIFE
We crossed the Michigan state line at around 1:00 am. And as we got closer to our destination a deer started running out into the road. We were in a large RV with the kids asleep on the couch, so my hubby had to make a split second decision. Either try to avoid the deer by swerving, and risk the kids rolling off the couch. Or… speed up and hope that we pass the deer before he gets to our side of the road. He chose option 2. He gunned it, and the deer ended up running right behind us. No deer were injured in the making of this 3 week RV trip.
We pulled into Ishpeming at 3:00 am and were at Country Village RV Park a few minutes later. This would be our “home” the longest of any place on our trip. The Matron of Honor (that’s me) was finally in the same town as the bride (my sister) and was ready to report for Matron of Honor duties. The whole point of this 3 week RV trip was to travel across country to be at my sister’s wedding. I was the Matron of Honor, my kids were part of the flower girl and ring bearer crew, and my hubby walked my mom down the aisle. My brother and his family weren’t able to make the trip, so my hubby stepped in to help.
Bachelorette Day
I got a few hours of sleep, then got ready to be picked up by 9:30 am. The girls had big plans for Bachelorette Day. One of the bridesmaids, Mary (she’s a teacher like my sister), graciously offered her family’s lake house for the day. It was so cute, and literally right on the water. I got to meet my sister’s new sister in laws, Deanna and Leann, and another one of her teacher friends, Madison. It was great seeing some of my sister’s friends that she went to high school and college with too. They, and my cousin, Monica, flew out from California to be here for the big day. Lake day included yummy BBQ, a really cool floating raft that we could all fit in, and an interesting game. Ha!
Night out for dinner…
After lake day we all went “home” to get ready for dinner. My mom and dad had rented a minivan to help us get around without having to load up in the RV to get around town. So, mom was the chauffer getting us to and from where we needed to be. Us girls went out to dinner in Marquette, MI at Sol Azteca and the food was so delicious. What’s better than good food? Is great food with prices to match! We took a few pictures after dinner across the street by Lake Michigan. I have never see a lake that big in my life! It is huge and it looks like it is the ocean.
And that was a wrap for that day! That was our first night that we got to go to bed with the RV already set up, with the slides out. And we got to sleep in a little the next day before we got our nails done.
Tips for Day 8:
- Tip 1: If you are near Marquette, MI and you want some delicious Mexican food, you have to check out Sol Azteca!
