it's time for a little summer...

is this weather getting anybody else down?? the snow, the freezing drizzle, the slippery sidewalks, or the slush up to the knees would make anyone dream of summer. these pictures are from a little road trip brett and i took last summer up to sleeping bear dunes. we attended a wedding, slept in our little tent, visited local restaurants, ate ice cream and hiked along the lake shore. nothing short of perfect...

first stop, breakfast at grandma's kitchen.


preparing for the day with water

a little more water just in case....


and a little more for good measure. my husband has dehydrophobia...

the lone ranger


a little trail jig

he's ready

visit to the little town of Mesick. perhaps grandma's kitchen wasn't too kind...


nothing a little ice cream can't fix. i look pissed b/c some kids were drawing with sidewalk chalk and there weren't enough pieces for me.


last stop, one of michigan's fine lighthouses. this was supposed to look like i was licking the lighthouse, but instead it looks like i'm licking that guy. what was your motivation here brett?

goodnight summer, goodnight.
