2021 Week in Photos #11

 Here's a look back at our week

On Saturday we took off for the day to celebrate the 20th anniversary of when Darryl proposed.  We have tried to make a trip back to where we got engaged every year and have made it most years.  We are thankful we could go this year! 

After picking up our rental car, we drove to my old hometown so we could stop at my dad's spot.  He sure is missed every day. 
We also took time to drive past my parents house (it all still looked the same!) and to stop at the church too.  

From there, we headed to the Detroit area where we had lunch at our favorite - National Coney Island.  We always take time to drive by my old apartment where we first met before heading to Metro Beach.  
We had a beautiful day.  This is a retake of a photo I took about 5 years ago.  It's just a fun photo as we enter the park. 

Darryl re-enacted the moment :-)  
Yes, they are barefoot, standing in the water.  They did admit it was cold HA! 

After leaving Metro Beach, we headed to Sander's Candy Factory to pick out a few chocolate treats.  This vehicle was our rental car!  It was amazing to say the least!  Anyway, we drove to Port Huron so the kids could see Canada!  We love to drive and explore so this was perfect. 
This is the Blue Water Bridge that connects Port Huron to Canada.  It used to be that you could drive back and forth with ease; then 9-11 happened and you needed more documentation; then Covid-19 happened and the only vehicles driving over the bridge currently are Semi-Trucks.  


The rest of our week was busy but quiet.  The boys had well child visits and I had things to do for our co-op as far as meetings.  I felt like I ran around more this week then I have in a year!  The kids did great working on school work and actually accomplishing all of their lessons by first thing Thursday morning.
