We just got back from a long weekend's drive. On Saturday morning Lee Ann, Annie and I piled into the car and made our way north to Jackson. We visited Brian to see his Cranbrook Drive house(and after months of work it is ready to rent and looking sharp!), and spent the afternoon at Mom's catching up on news and eating her yummy lemon meringue pie.
From Mom's we drove to Ann Arbor to attend a presentation given by my old high school friend Jeff Holden. Jeff has volunteered for several years to pick up bones and antlers on Isle Royale (in Lake Superior) so scientists can track the wolf and moose populations on the island and unravel some of the mysteries of predator-prey relationships. The subject is fascinating, and we really enjoyed the presentation and first-hand accounts from Jeff and other volunteers about the work that is being done there.
After spending the night in a motel south of Toledo we continued this morning to Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware OH. Annie participated in a lacrosse camp there with about 50 other high schoolers, instructed by the OWU coach and senior team members. Annie had a good workout, and it was fun to watch her play in the big old-fashioned football stadium there.
Now we are home, having traveled 600 miles in 36 hours to get back to where we started but feeling it was well worth the trip.

We enjoyed your visit. Sounds like you cannot get enough of the traveling life at work so you supplement on the weekends.
