Spent the Fourth of July holiday with my family in Northern Michigan –

Hart,Michigan – Home of the Beautiful Sand Dunes

My crazy parents and I went flying on the sand dunes for Fourth of July! How was yours?

One of my favorite moments with my parents.. Time is so valuable because they never get the chance to see me. I travel all over the world and then I forget how stunning my own state is. Michigan is home of the five Great Lakes, 10% of the worlds freshwater. And we take it for granted, there is so much opportunity with recreation, fresh drinking water and many other things. Racing up and down the sand dunes brings back memories of my childhood. I useto ride trails with my brothers on ATVs and dirtbikes for ages.. sometimes I wish I could jump back into time and cherish those memories with my family. Because now that we never see each other, I miss them more than ever. Happy Fourth of July everyone, whatever you’re doing wherever you are. Kiss your mama & hug your dad. #Merica
