staycation

i have lived in michigan my entire life and always knew it was a great place to live. however, it wasn't until i started teaching michigan geography to my students this year that i really took a step back to think about just how wonderful it is.

this past tuesday evening we ventured to tunnel park to enjoy one of michigan's many beaches yet to be discovered by our party of four.

while we were there we played in the sand, crashed about in the surf and had our fair share of tumbles into the sandy dunes.

and spent lots and lots of time on a sand castle.

hand crafting it down to the littlest of details.

and ended up going home with smiles on our faces, sand everywhere, and the hope

to come again soon.
