The cabin

The weekend was great! Left about 7:30am on Saturday and arrived around 11. It was already hot there, the kids played on the beach while I got things put away in the cabin and cleaned up. The cabin made it through the winter in good shape. We had rain in the afternoon, but it cleared up later. Keith and Ursula came out and we hung out on the beach, and BBQ later.
On Sunday it was overcast and not quite as hot. We drove to Charlevoix, but went around the lake first.. Tried a geo-cache but could not find it.. we then went north on US31 and stopped at a few road side parks on Lake Michigan. Had a good view of Big Rock which CE is decommisioning Then had lunch and tried another geocach.. this led us to a beautiful view of the Lake from the top of a sand dune.. After some looking finally found the geocach deep in a cedar forest.. which was also *very* cool. We played on the dunes and in the water for a while, although it was quite rocky.. went to the public beach by the lighthouse and went swimming.. by this time it is about 4.. headed to the cabin picked up, and packed. Went swimming again then got dressed and hit the road... grabbed a pizza on the way home and we arrived in Lansing about 9 pm.. a full but enjoyable weekend
