4 fantastic days in northern michigan

It’s hard to believe our German exchange student, Tessa is heading back home in just a few days.  We couldn’t let her leave Michigan without a little tour up north so we hopped on I-75 until we hit the bridge and took in all the beauty the mitten is famous for.  One way I captured our adventure is with a little help from instagram.  If you’re also addicted to this photo app, you can follow us at tuesdaycat.
