Every year, for the past several years, our family has gone on tour with my musician hubby for a few weeks in the summer. It started out as 2 weeks and grew to 5 weeks, and then this year went back down to 2 weeks since we have growing children and one of them is looking at getting a job soon. That and a few other factors made us to decide to do a 2-week tour, a 1 week staycation/working staycation and a 9-day vacation.
Here's one day of our vacation days.
25 years ago, my hubby and I were married. So, this July we celebrated our 25th anniversary, but we delayed part of the celebration until Labor Day when the Mackinaw Bridge opens up to the public for a 5-mile walk across. This year was the Labor Day Walk 60th anniversary. We thought that was an appropriate time to take part in the walk and to let our kids experience a night on Mackinac Island - where we spent part of our honeymoon 25 years ago.
The bridge definitely provided 2+ hours of Physical Education time, but it also provided our children with a huge history lesson as well as the opportunity to ride a school bus (our shuttle to the starting line of the bridge walk).
