Life on the Beach

Happy Tuesday!  I had a great weekend in Michigan with Tim's family, I didn't want to come home!  We stayed in a gorgeous house right on Lake Michigan, with amazing views and walking distance to the cutest little downtown. It was a little cold, but we made the most of it anyway!

Friday night was spent hanging out, playing games, having drinks.  Saturday we went in to town (South Haven) and shopped a bit, browsed the farmer's market and had lunch.  Then, Tim and his Dad took the girls back to the house and the ladies and my brother in law went for a wine tasting.  It was delicious!  I went home with a bottle of Sparkling Moscato, which according to the server, is the best for mimosas.  Yes please!  Overall the day was a little rainy, but made for a perfect rainbow.
 

Saturday night we had a gorgeous sunset. Just look at this!

Sunday was chilly, but sunny, so E took full advantage of playing in the sand.  She was covered, and her clothes had to be shaken out, but it was worth it.  She's such a water baby - just like me! 

 
 
I took a lot of photos of our names drawn in the sand.  I have some great ones that were snapped just before a wave came over them.  I am planning on having the ones of the girls' names printed and framed for their bathroom.  And maybe this one, framed in our room:
 


 Overall, it was a great weekend.  I ate way too much, drank a little too much, and had enough sweets to last a few months.  Needless to say I sort of failed on my fitness goals, but today is a new week so I am starting over.  Wish me luck!

I could absolutely get used to life in a beach house.  Not only was the house gorgeous - it was just built this year - but I just felt so relaxed there.  The sound of waves crashing while falling asleep is something I need in my life, every day.  If you've seen me on Pinterest lately, you've seen that I've been pinning things to a "Lake House" board.  I will have a lake house someday.  Power of positive thinking, yes?!
