Relaxation!

I just got back last night from a week up north and it was great! My husband Tim and I have not had time off together since our honeymoon over 3 years ago.
We went up north to Boyne City where my parents have a vacation home. For the first couple days, we just sat out on the patio and looked out at the water and listened to the trees as they moved in the wind. Just what I needed!
Even our dog got a vacation! We played fetch and took him swimming every chance we got! He was a tired dog at the end of each day! As we say "a tired dog is a good dog."

We also made it out to Sleeping Bear Dunes for a very very long walk. It was great exercise, but really tiring. At one point, we stopped and looked around and almost felt like we were in the middle of a desert. Water anyone?



After we finally made it back to civilization, we went to Traverse City and made our way to our favorite spot by the water. We found a great shade tree and took a little nap.


For Memorial Day weekend, we went to Mackinaw Island with family and friends. We go every year and spend time biking and sitting on the porch of the Windamere.

Now, I am home and ready to take on the crazy summer!
