Adventure

For a few years now, I’ve heard about the hundreds of miles of garage sales happening on Michigan’s US-12 and thru several other states.  For a sale-lover like me, this has sounded like an exciting time!

The big sale was this weekend!  On Wednesday I looked at the calendar, and I saw an empty spot on Saturday!!!  I talked to the kids, and they were all in!

This morning I woke them up bright and early at the crack of 7:30 *eye roll*.  Ok, well to the summer vacationing children, 7:30 might as well have been 4am.  But they got up!  They got ready to go!  And we were outta here!!

Of the several hundreds of miles of garage sales, I think we may have went about 20 miles.  I should have measured our journey.  But, we had fun!  We found some good deals at many, many sales!  We pulled in alongside the now-closed dinosaur park!  We pulled in the currently-closed Stagecoach villagey-thing.  We bought some yummy produce from a road-side stand.  And, with it being race weekend, we drove home thru MIS so the kiddos could see the excitement building with the qualifying today!

Tonight I am thankful for a fun adventure day with the kiddos!!  I am thankful for finally going to experience the miles and miles of garage sales!  And I am thankful that we found something special for each kiddo today!  We sadly did not find good deals on fishing poles (which is on my garage-sale to-buy list).  But that really didn’t matter.  We had a wonderful day together today as we are wrapping up summer vacation before school starts soon ❤
