The final stop of our trip was to head south to Lansing for my Grandma Boehm's 90th birthday celebration! I have an Aunt, 2 cousins and several second cousins who live in Maine who we hadn't seen in about 4 years! They drove 18 hours from Maine all the way to Lansing in one day! We drove 4.5 hours from Brevort to Lansing that same day... we made it there a bit earlier than they did.
Anyway, we arrived at Grandma's Saturday at about 8ish, my Mom and Dad were there, saying in their motor home, so we all stayed up late waiting for the 'Mainers' to arrive. They got in about 9:30ish, and we left about 10 to head to our hotel for the night. Sunday the whole family got together for a celebration of Grandma! It was nice all be together as it had been quite awhile since we had been. Ella met lots of my first and second cousins for the first time! The weather did not cooperate very well, but we had fun anyway :) We left about 3 to make the drive back to Wisconsin and home.

All in all we had a great trip! 1,400 miles, 3 great lakes and 4 states!
