Notes About The Trip

I have posted our photos on here by the day, but each day may have shuffled the photos so they don't run in the correct morning to evening order. 

 

I had to combine all the photos I took on my phone as well as the ones Joshua took on his phone.  There are A LOT of photos and numerous videos - some we double clicked when taking them and some, both of us took a shot of the same scenery, so there may be duplicates, sorry.

​

We started from home in Alabama, and went through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, DC, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Michigan including the Upper Peninsula and Mackinac Island, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee.

​

We saw so many beautiful things!  Some Historical, State and National Land Marks, State and National Parks, we had a couple quick visits with a few friends and family.  For those that don't know, I'm originally from Michigan and have taken the kids many times, but Josh was always younger and doesn't remember much so we'll be hitting numerous things in Michigan.  Our stops were - Stone Mountain GA, Arlington National Cemetary, The National Mall, Niagara Falls, Frankenmuth, Mackinac Bridge as well as Mackinac Island & Mackinaw City, South Haven Beach Pier & Lighthouse, Warren Dunes, Essenhaus Restaurant, Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg..... I think that was all of them LOL, there was a lot.

 

He was determined to swim in all 5 Great Lakes and wanted me to video each one - HE DID IT!

​

ENJOY!

Josh wanted to dip in ALL 5 Great Lakes

It was COLD, but he did it!

Photo slide-show boxes will not let me add videos - so here are numerous misc videos from the trip.
