Elliott Style!!
This is the awesome view we had from our one room, ramshackle cabin.
The lake off in the distance is Bear Lake.

| Vacation in Michigan... Elliott Style!! |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Forget Spring Break in Florida. Why lay on a beach and get an awesome tan when you could save money and spend Summer Break like my family does?? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The first place we went was my Grandma's house. We hung out there for a couple days and then headed up north to an area near Crystal Mountain Ski Resort. Our plan? "Primitive"---->"Amish"---->Luxury!! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| No running water, no heat, no light, no bathroom (tent camping trips of the past made it easier, though). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This is where we spent the first three days of our vacation. (Yes, it really is leaning off to one side.) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| We took several day trips because the cabin wasn't too entertaining after a while. Charlevoix was one of our stops; it's an old fishing town. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The city council was sponsoring a charity auction. People were given a basic fish design and they could paint or decorate it however they wanted. After that they were judged and then auctioned off. Here's my favorite... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We also rafted down the Platte River, but since Danielle and I had to do all the rowing, we don't have any pics from that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This view was at the end though. It's Lake Michigan, and it was freezing. The year before I had the courage to swim in it, but I don't like being cold that much anymore. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Next Stop: Frankfort, MI | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
