the beach!

Andy had seen a city Saugatuck on the west side of the state on the Today show one morning and has talked about it since then. We had thought about taking a drive out there, but it is a long drive, about 2.5 hours. But this morning we decided, why not, and drove. We got there at about noonish, so we walked around the quaint city and found a spot for lunch looking out at the water where the big boats dock. Next stop was the beach, which was our main reason for going. The kids of course had a great time playing at the beach. Being on Lake Michigan was almost like being at the ocean, minus the saltwater of course. There were big waves and tons and tons of sand to play in. We stayed for a few hours playing in the water and digging in the sand. After that we drove around for a little while and checked out the rest of the town. It was worth the drive and we all had a great day!
