The Alguire Family: Traverse City

Last weekend Craig had a conference in Traverse City, so we decided it would be fun to bring the entire family and enjoy Up North. We left the house Friday after Allison got out of school. This was not the best time for Connor as he was sound asleep within minutes and this meant a VERY late night for all of us in a one bedroom condo (all that was available:( So, after arriving and checking in we settled in to our very tiny, but nice condo. I ended up in the bedroom with Allison and Ella and Craig was on the pullout couch with condo. I definitely got the better end of the deal. Saturday morning Craig was up early for the 6:00 5k in the dark (which he won) and then off to his conference where he had to give a talk. The rest of us were off to the pool at The Grand Traverse Resort. It has recently been renovated and added a kids indoor water playground. The kids had a great time and we swam for over 2 hours. The little ones were exhausted. Saturday afternoon we all ventured to my and aunt and uncle's house who live in Traverse City. The kids had fun playing with their dogs and running around their yard and in the lake. After that we went downtown Traverse city. Went to the Cherry Republic, played in the soapy water fountain and ate dinner. Connor was asleep by 5:30, so we headed back to the condo for an early night. Sunday morning I packed up while Craig was at the conference and then we took the kids mini golfing and out for lunch.
