The Story Of Us

Hello hello everyone.. what a crazy last few weeks I have had. But first I need to take you back to last year.. Last year I had been asked to be one of the speakers for a women's event in our local mosque. The topic was photography and how the elements of a good photograph can tie into our daily life. Thankfully the rest of the year went by quietly until a few months ago I was asked to take photos for a three day event taking place in early October. Our community hosted a medical conference where doctors from all across North America flew in to participate. There were over 200 people who joined the event.

We woke up on Thursday and after a quick hotel breakfast we headed out. It was a three and a half hour drive to our first stop, we were so hungry by the time we got there that we first decided to have lunch.     We ate at Big Springs Tavern. It was in the middle of nowhere and it really was the only option for miles so we were very pleasantly surprised that the food was really really good.We have had some hits and  misses on this trip. Afterwards we headed to our first stop, Kitch-iti-kipi. In the Ojibwe language the name means big cold spring. Located within Palms Book State Park, it is Michigan's largest natural freshwater spring. While visiting the spring and riding the famous cable-drawn viewing raft is free you do have to pay to enter Palms Book State Park. the raft There was a long long line to get on the raft. The raft moved at a snail's pace and I was having my doubts about this whole venture. The boys were not impressed. After waiting half an hour we finally...
