We attended a Twins game on Tuesday night. It was a great night and it's kind of fun to go to a game when you don't really care who wins! We met John and Jule Poirier for dinner at Notre Dame on Wednesday, toured the campus on Thursday and headed into Michigan and met up with Jake, Dee and Nick. Nate and Chris (Jake's best bud) were also there. We spent the night at Higgins Lake in Dee's family cottage then headed to the wedding venue on Friday. Connie, Jan and Marc, and John and Ann also were in attendance. The wedding Friday night was great, the wedding dinner perfect and the weather a bit rainy. Saturday we loaded up a party bus and went to Lake Michigan for some photos then to a winery. That was a fun adventure. Saturday's reception was also a good time with some fun folks and good food.
We began our journey back home on Sunday and drove to Chicago. We attended a Cubs-Cardinals game at Wrigley which was a great way for Isaac to spend his 7th birthday! And the Cardinals won which was a bonus. Monday we drove to Council Bluffs, Tuesday to Rapid City and the home on Wednesday. Coming from Great Falls we tallied over 4100 miles in 10 days, hitting 11 states. What a wonderful adventure for all of us. I think Jake and Nick missed out for sure.
Here are a few photos from the weekend.
Congratulations Jake and Dee we love you and loved your special weekend!!

Thanks for posting the great narrative and wonderful photos, Mary. Sorry we missed out on the party bus, but we (Connie, Jan, Marc, Ann & I) had a great time on Saturday visiting a Michigan State Park on Lake Michigan, the little town of Harbor Springs, and a nearby winery/brewery. The wedding and reception were very nice, and the venue was beautiful. I thought it was great having a band at the reception that included Deanne's father's best man. They were fun, as was the Hufnagel family. I'm glad we made the trip. And we got home on Sunday at 10:30 p.m. You ought to try the miracle of powered airplanes.
It looks like everyone had a blast!!! So happy for Jake and Dee! Wish I could have been there to enjoy the festivities. Love to all!!
It was a blast! I did tell Marc and Connie to shoot me if I ever suggested to drive that far again in a four day time period! It was well worth it and we all had a GREAT time!!
Looks like a great time! And what a fun family road trip. Wish I could have been at the wedding. Love you all!

I'm a little late, but I guess it's better late than never, eh. What a wonderful celebration of Jake and Dee's wedding. I had a wonderful time there and thanks so much for hosting it. Now the 4 days in the car with Jan and Marc were rather interesting (really I enjoyed it as much as one can enjoy that much time traveling!!). John described our Saturday and they even stopped at the Wequetonsing golf club so I could buy a shirt for Bill. I just loved the name!
