This past weekend was Lowell’s birthday, and we celebrated by taking one final camping trip for the season, heading up north to the Traverse City area. We set up base camp at Interlochen State Park, and spent three days hiking trails at Sleeping Bear Dunes and the Traverse area VASA trail. Lowell also ran a 10K race on his birthday on the VASA trail, and had another fine performance coming in third in his age group. Cadence and I cheered him on from the trailhead.
No other way to describe it other than just a perfect weekend trip. The colors were beautiful, and the weather could not have been more ideal. 72 degrees and sunny the entire time – you could never dare hope for such amazing conditions in October in northern Michigan.
Django, Maebe, and Cadence joined us for the trip, and the five of us spent hours hiking the trails by day, and curling up by the fire at night.
Plus, I got Lowell the best birthday gift ever – custom designed Maebe-gear, courtesy of Laura at Team Small Dog. You can see it for yourself here: http://skreened.com/maebebaebe
