Back to reality...weekend photos to share.

Well, it was wonderful while it lasted. But all good things must come to an end, right? I had a blast with my husband this past weekend and yes, Margot, we had a few "Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Moments!" So without further ado, here is my weekend in photos!

Me and the Uber-Excited Husband!! (he hates his picture taken) Just starting out on the trails.

Pictures taken while zooming through the woods

Parts of the trail take you through the forest that was burned and is coming back to life.

Saw these huge tracks and made Matt stop so I could get a picture....could it be coyote???

Nope, just someone's dog out tracking bear!! What a bummer..but it did make my husband laugh!

We came upon this fast moving river.....it was beautiful.

I had to roll up my capris and get in...it felt wonderful because the temps were 90+ on Saturday.

Not sure what this is...some sort of Quail

Sorry for the blurriness- she popped out while we were cruising down some seasonal roads

Two fawns!! Aren't they adorable!!!!

The sky seems so much blue-err up north!

Right across from our campsite

Well, that's just a few pictures from our weekend. Thanks so much for all of your wishes of fun and "togetherness"....we had a great time. I'm pretty charged up and ready to get back to the regular schedule of blogging, visiting, reading and reviewing!!!

Weekend is calling my name!

I'm getting ready to head back up north to spend the weekend with my husband. As you can probably tell by the lack of posts from me, I've been very unmotivated to blog these past couple of days. I'm sure that once I return on Monday that I will be ready to get back into the swing of reviewing, posting, and blogging stuff!! I will make sure to take photos of the glorious elevations and the views from the top of the ridges to share with you! Until then...have a great Friday the 13th and an even more wonderful weekend!!!

Vacation Fun!

Hello Friends!!!

Can I just say that all of you rock? Thanks for the well-wishes on my camping vacation. I can't tell you how cool it was to come home and read all of your comments. For the past day I've been doing laundry and trying to get caught up, but my heart is still back at our campsite! I love the northern part of Michigan, there's something pretty damn magical about it. I would like to share a few pics with you today and I promise to take better pictures of the forest this weekend. I'm headed back up to join my hubby on Friday night. So very excited because Marc is staying with a friend for the weekend and Matt and I get some quality couple time!!!!

This is a picture of the toys that we were riding. Starting on the far left is my hubby's newest toy (2 months old) and what I drove on the trails. I did manage to beat the crap out of it! I will show you those photos later!!! The bike in the middle is my husbands KTM..he rips it up out there and is an amazing rider! The blue/white bike is my son's Marc. He's getting better every time we go out.

This is a photo of my hubby holding onto the guard that I "accidentally" ripped off of the RZR. Somehow I slid into a tree and this sort of got stuck behind the tree and I kept accelerating....which resulted in this HEAVY DUTY piece of steel being stripped from the RZR. According to the hubby this could possibly be a $500 boo-boo!!!!

This is what our faces looked like when we rolled back into camp after 5 hours on the trails!! Pretty huh?

 Don't those pics just warm your heart?? Marc and his girlfriend Shelby reading around the campfire????

This is the side where the metal guard used to reside!! Notice all of the scratches all over the plastic??? Well, I pulled off the whole side as we were riding down a huge washed-out area! Then because we couldn't fit through the trail my hubby tried to get the RZR out of the forest and he ended up damaging the other side of plastic!! He estimated that to replace those two pieces would be very $$$$$$!!! Aren't I lucky that he still loves me????

I've decided to market a new hair gel---DIRT! My hair was all over the place and it would stay like that until I washed it!! Marcus said that it looked like Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue. Me being a die-hard 80's person thought that was extremely cool!!!!!!!! Much to his chagrin...LOL!!

Thanks everyone for stopping by today and I will take photos of the woods to share with you on Monday! But here is an example of what we were doing.

Pure Michigan ORV!

Vacation in the Thumb!

Husband's truck filled with dirt bikes/camper filled with goodies and the Polaris RZR

I've waited 4 long years to get away and I can not wait! Some of you know that for a while I was a hostage in my own home and because of that I wasn't able to leave my husband or my son alone at any time. So this is the first time in a long time that I get to go somewhere with my family!! The northern part of Michigan has been singing to me in my dreams and the scent of pine and fragrant wildflowers is fresh in my mind. We like to camp off the beaten path and ride our dirt bikes and Polaris RZR. There's nothing quite like being out in the wilderness, sitting around the camp fire drinking beer, chatting with friends and family, and having no outside influences intruding on your day. We don't have anything special planned...just riding, eating, sleeping, swimming, reading, playing card games, drinking (for some of us) and relaxing!!

So please forgive me if I'm MIA commenting on your blogs.....I will return to my regular daily visits when I get back!!! Until then, enjoy your reading and whatever else you may have going on!!! And I'll drink an ice cold beer for all of you!!!
