Bob and I spent an amazing weekend in Marquette, Michigan - yes, random, I know but his family was having a reunion and we wanted to be there. No one in Bob's family knew anyone in this family until a few months ago when Bob's brother connected with one of his cousins on Ancestry.com. Bob's dad was given up for adoption when he was young and the family we met was his biological family. It is a long and painful story, but the Booker family was very happy to finally meet Bob and be connected with Jerry Booker/Richard Duncan's children (Bob's dad's name was changed when he was adopted). It was pretty emotional to meet everyone and to see Bob with his new relatives. One of his dad's sisters was at the reunion and was in tears the whole time she was speaking to Bob.
We spent Saturday evening exploring Marquettte and falling in love with this little city. It is right on Lake Superior and is a beautiful place. The coastline is gorgeous and we loved walking along the beaches. I've truly never found a place I think is as beautiful as Downeast Maine, but this part of the Upper Peninsula in Michigan might be a very, very close second. Both Bob and I could picture ourselves living here. Would anyone visit us if we moved to the UP?? ;)
Check out our photos, and the post below with some video of the lake, and enjoy a little taste of beautiful Michigan!
