The "List"

Chris and I had a list of the things we wanted to do and the places we wanted to visit before we left Michigan. Here's the list and our final results:
  • BLUES FEST - 2007 & 2008
  • CHICAGO, IL - May 2009
  • FRANKENMUTH, MI - We loved this town and made it there 4 times, twice in 2008 and twice in 2009.
  • HELL, MI - October 2009 (we've been to Hell and back, literally)
  • HENRY FORD MUSEUM - April 2008
  • HOLLAND, MI - 2008 & 2009
  • HOLLY, MI RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL - September 2009
  • LANSING LUGNUTS GAME - 2008 & 2009
  • LIONS GAME - 2008
  • MACKINAW & MACKINAC - Twice in 2008
  • MAPLE SYRUP FESTIVAL - April 2008
  • MASON COUNTRY MILL - 2008 & 2009
  • NAUVOO, IL - July 2009
  • NEW YORK, NY - July 2009
  • PISTONS GAME - February 2009
  • POTTER PARK ZOO - 2007, 2008, and 2009
  • POTTERVILE, JOE'S GIZZARD CITY - 2008 & 2009
  • RED WINGS GAME - November 2009
  • ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME, CLEVELAND, OH - September 2009
  • SANDUSKY, OH, CEDAR POINT - September 2009
  • SAULT STE MARIE SOO LOCKS - April 2008
  • STATE CAPITAL - May 2009
  • TIGERS GAME - 2008 & 2009
  • TRAVERSE CITY, MI - April 2008
  • UNCLE JOHNS CIDER MILL - October 2007

The places we never made it to:

  • Detroit Zoo
  • Niagara Falls
  • Turkeyville, MI Sloppy Tom's

Overall, I think we did very well on our list. We also were able to visit a lot of places that weren't on our list. If we do end up going back to Michigan for Chris' graduation, we may end up taking a couple days and driving over to Niagara, just a thought!

Now that the Michigan Adventure is over, I think we will continue the tradition of the "List". Chris and I are going to start a new list of places we want to visit that we haven't been to before, or haven't been to in a long time. If you have any ideas of places or festivals to add to our list let us know!

I love the list idea...Dave and I are going to make a "List" for things to do before we move from Michigan. I think another trip to Niagra just might be on that list....oh maybe sometime in May....perhaps:)
