Dixon Family UP Vacation - 2017

we have never done a fam vacation with my fam since the kids have been born…so we figured why not and headed to manistique (where my parents grew up) in the UP for a week.

we stayed at gerometta’s resort…which is where we stayed when we were younger before we had families of our own.

the bridge!!!

we had three little cottages on indian lake ….we kind of set up camp in front of my mom and nathan/amanda’s cabin where we ate and hung out.  when it was colder we would hang out on our porch.
