Memorial Weekend - Green Bay (Part 2)

I've been back from Green Bay for a couple of days now, took a couple of days to recover from that 10-hour car ride! If I didn't mention it in Part 1, the whole reason we went to Green Bay was to celebrate my husband's grandmother who turned 100. She amazingly still lives on her own with a little help from her daughters! Here's a great shot of her smiling down on William, her Great-Great Grandson who was just born 2 weeks ago.

The inset picture is from the invitation and was taken when Grandma was a teenager. I just love old family photographs. We all agreed, that change the hair to a more contemporary style and one of our nieces, Lynn, is the spitting image of Grandma! Below is a Five-Generation photo, pretty cool, huh?

Memorial Weekend - Green Bay (Part 1)

As a lot of you know, I'm away from home right now. My husband and I left for the memorial weekend to travel to Green Bay to help celebrate his grandmother's 100th birthday! (100!!!That still amazes me!) That celebration is today, but here are a couple of pics thus far.

Here's the love of my life in front of the Manistique lighthouse, in Manistique, MI (the upper pennisula). He was such a good sport pulling off the road everytime I asked to take shots of lighthouses and the Mackinaw Bridge along the way. I can't wait to get back home and add some of these great shots to my lighthouse series in my Etsy shop!

Here I am holding my new grandnephew, he's only two weeks old and SO adorable!!! His mom & dad made sure to put him in his little hand-crocheted converses that I got for him from fellow Etsian, ktpatino. They're almost as cute as he is!
