Road Trip!

"You off tomorrow?"

That's how it all began. I was dead set on NOT going off island again for my day off, since I just went to Petoskey. But my coworkers Jake, Brittany, and Will spontaneously decided to go to Tequamaneon Falls. I had a late night/early morning (as did they...) and was just thinking how much I was NOT going at 9am when Jake texted me.

"Ok, I'm in"

And it was the best day. Totally laid back, chill, not too much conversation, lots of woods and nature around. First we went to Will's cabin, where he has horses (!), and one of the horses just gave birth to twins (!). Granted, we live on an island where horses are the main mode of transport, but the Island horses are different. Not so friendly, as they seem focused on their work. Seriously.

Next stop was the Falls, in the UP, near Canada. Last stop was Whitefish Point, a random place where we saw big barges on the lake.

It was one of the best road trips I've had because everyone was so relaxed. We even had a shopping stop in there, and a couple fast food breaks. Jake had some good tunes and drove the whole time. I slept in the car :-) I wish we could have gone camping...

I am trying to think of why it was so relaxed. I think because we didn't have any sort of agenda. I'm learning to go with the flow in life more, as I used to be a SUPER laid back person before life got hectic and too drama focused. Sometimes I guess you have to be reminded of who you were to accept who you are now. Good or bad. And currently, it's all good :-)
