"I'm Home......."

I drove to Michigan last Saturday to visit Patrick, Julie, and Abigail.  Abigail's 3rd birthday was last Monday and I wanted to be there to celebrate it with her.  3 already!  Time flies faster the older I get!  Unfortunately, Don was not able to go with me since I planned on staying a few extra days, but I had Copper as my traveling companion.  ;)

I left before 6 AM Saturday morning while it was still dark.  I was able to snap this shot of the sunrise while driving along I 39/90.

As mentioned, Copper was my traveling companion, but a quiet one.  This was her "usual" position while we were on the road.  It's a bit blurry, but I was driving when I took this.  ;)

The further north I drove into Michigan, the more color I saw among the trees.  The following photos were taken along 31 north of Muskegon before getting to the Ludington area (I think).

I ran into small squalls of light rain driving up through Michigan, too.  I took this photo to show the clouds.  I find them beautiful, yet somewhat ominous, too.  The kids and I went out to dinner that night and when we came out of the restaurant, we had a rain/snow mix coming down.  Thankfully, it didn't last very long.  :)

I also had a few peeks of sun once and awhile, too.  When it came out, the tree colors became more vibrant!

My trip continued tomorrow.......
