Back To Reality
B and I are back after a wonderful 3 days up north with our amazing friends! We actually got home on Sunday afternoon (just after hearing about the shooting at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, WI, about 20 minutes from where we live) and after getting caught up in watching all the news coverage, I spent yesterday doing all of the vacation clean-up and putting away of clothing, etc.
The weather was perfect, the lake water felt like bath water (very unusual for Lake Michigan), and we had a great time with our friends. Good food, good wine ,good company. Nothing is better.
B and I drove up with Doug on Thursday night (his fiance's family owns the house). They blew up the hot dog raft in the living room and B tried it out.
On Friday morning, they also blew up the trampoline raft which was impossible to actually jump on because on Friday and Saturday, the lake was SO wavy.
On Friday afternoon, the boys had to take naps after Margaret came up because they went for a 10 mile bike ride on the beach in the morning, followed by all the above mentioned water activities.
At first, I thought B was dead because he wasn't responding. He said sleeping on the beach was more relaxing than sleeping in a bed.
Mike (Doug's brother in law) drinking his "wizard staff" of PBR.
Yes, duct taping cans of beer together is what lakehouse weekend is all about.
Margaret making a delicious homemade cream puff dessert.
Mike really loved his wizard staff.
How I spent Saturday: on the beach towel (with SPF, of course!) and a Skinny Mini! (Skinnygirl Margaritas are my jam.)
On Sunday morning, a few hours before we left. The boys enjoying the beach and the water.
Yes, all we do is eat, drink, and hang in the water. But sometimes, that's what makes a getaway the best!
