Today was pack up your bags and start the trip home. We said our goodbyes to Raquel and Eric and Miles, we had a great time, and it was a very special visit to spent some quality time with our new grandson Miles. 
This picture of the flying horse is for all my granddaughters, Ashley, Livia, Rebekah and Adeline! I thought of you all when I saw this, it was the size of an actual small pony suspended from the roof! When we left, Bronner's you can see in the picture is was snowing, huge snow flakes...which made for a very long drive for the next 210 miles to Mackinaw, MI.
Our speed varied from 25 mph at times to 55 mph, with the majority of the time the speed was around 40mph. The Interstate had snow and slush, and icy conditions and was mostly just one long line of cars in the same lane, because the other lane had no wheel tracks.
We arrived in Mackinaw, booked a room in a hotel, that looks towards the the bridge. which is the picture below just as the lights came on, and you can see the visibility is only about 3/4 mile.
After some supper, we are now enjoying the ACM Awards on the Tv, and will be enjoying the comfort of an actual bed tonight! Tomorrow starts the 450 plus miles or more left to get home, hopefully with better driving conditions, forecast is for nicer weather.
