Petoskey trip

We didn't have any plans for Labor Day weekend this year, so we thought it would be fun to take a family trip up north. We found a great deal on a condo right next to Petoskey State Park. It had plenty of space for us, and we were impressed with the amenities. The ride up was easy because Katelyn took her afternoon nap, and we also let her watch cailou and curious george dvds.
Dad and Mom Alles were also vacationing up north, so we met them in Bay Harbor at Knot just a Bar for supper on Friday night. We walked through the marina and looked at all the big boats.
Saturday morning was very rainy. We went to Harbor Springs for breakfast at Turkeys. It was really good. We couldn't enjoy the sidewalk sales because of the rain, but Katelyn wasn't acting herself, so we went home to put her down for a nap. When she woke up, she was hot and irritable. I drove to Walgreens for a thermometer and her temp was 103.6. We had plans to watch the first Michigan game with Dad and Mom at our condo, but we decided it was best not to get together. We treated Katelyn with Motrin and tylenol and she seemed better, with no temperature Sunday morning.


We wanted to go to Mackinac Island, but thought it would be best not to push it. We did enjoy a nice drive to the bridge and stopped at a park/beach in St. Ignace. Katelyn really liked throwing the rocks into the water. There was a craft fair going on and we also wathced the ferry boats leave the dock. Katelyn fell asleep on the way home, so we took the Tunnel of Trees back so she could sleep longer. We planned to go out for dinner and maybe go mini golfing that night, but when Katelyn woke up her fever was 104 and she was miserable again. We made the quick decision to pack up and head home that night. Katelyn was a trooper in the car, even after our dvd player started smoking and she couldn't watch videos anymore. Once again, a crazy vacation, but we loved spending quality time together.
