Here in Michigan, you don't have to travel far to get to *a* lake, and *the* Lake is never far away.
On Monday evening, we hopped in the car and drove to the lake. I will tell you, it took us a few years to truly enjoy being at the lake, and to stop comparing it to the ocean. But once we stopped lamenting about our ocean-less state, we started enjoying the lake. Funny how that works, isn't it?
Kevin went for a swim, can you see him?
while I stayed further back on a beach towel, enjoying the late afternoon sun, the seagulls overhead, and the sound of the waves. The Baby tried to eat the sand. ;-)
Footsies in the sand:
What are some things about your area that you enjoy?

I love the tree-topped limestone riverbluffs above golden autumn colored cornfields and the iconic Gateway Arch and city skyline only a handful of miles in the distance.
I think a great mini-vacation is enjoying things around home. Sometimes we get too busy otherwise! (I've seen the Redwoods - so beautiful!!)
Heather - my parents took me to see the Arch when I was a little girl. I'd love to visit again someday!
I love our little "tin castle" as I call our little rental trailer. Living in the capitol of my state is nice. being in the middle of North Carolina where I can up and go to the beach or the mountains in a matter of a few hours. I truly love that my home is tucked away like it's in the country but yet is right in the middle of a big city. So many blessings! Thanks for helping me stop and consider all the things I love about "home"
Tammy ~ I love this whole part of Virginia...the Valley with beautiful mountains on both sides! I love stepping out on my front porch and thinking that people would pay money to be vacationing right where I look out each day. I love driving up the road to amish country and seeing buggies on the road and shopping at farmers' markets. I like the country-ness of our area and hope I'll always live here.
