Sleeping Bear Dunes

Aaron and I took a camping trip out to Sleeping Bear Dunes. It was really quiet and isolated and not overly touristy (but enough so that I could buy my sister a ridiculous souvenir). It was truly the best of both a camping and beach vacation. I didn't know Lake Michigan could be so clear!

Half-beetle, half-crab.

We found a super cheap place  to rent a kayak. It was so serene. 

I let Aaron do all the work.

Few things compare to fresh vegetable roasted over a fire. I could probably be content eating foil packs for the rest of my life.

The best part about the whole trip was earning my Junior Ranger badge at the end. It makes me kind of wish I had done it on our Badlands trip.

Some Summertime Travel

I have quite a few travel plans for this summer.



The first of which is a 14 hour drive to Badlands National Park.



The second is a trip to Virginia Beach for the MacDonald family reunion (just days after the Janisch/Hoffman family reunion).

Awesome.

A summer recap

This summer I managed to watch horrible daytime tv, crocheted till my fingers ached (and I am still not finished), visited with many family members, panicked as my sister drove the car for the first time (legally), and enjoyed the quite of the suburbs. Now I am off to the hustle and bustle of the city.
