U.P. and away!

U.P. and away!

We have hit the road! We are on our way right now to the Upper Peninsula of the great state of Michigan. We will be staying with our friend, born-and-raised Yooper and current Math teacher, Jodi Hyrkäs at the Finnish farmstead she wrote about in her guest blog post last summer.

What should we make sure to see this week?
