Saugatuck, MI getaway

We just spent the most fabulous weekend in Saugatuck, Michigan with our family and both sets of grandparents.  What an absolute gift. The gift of time.  Quality time spent together (unplugged.)  Card games, stories, walks on the beach and evening cocktails topped the list! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking.  We rented a large house with an enormous back deck that overlooked Lake Michigan.  We spent most of our down time out there enjoying the beautiful blue water, crisp air and evening sunsets.



We had the private beach in our backyard.  77 steps down from the house was our own private beach!  Even though the water was freezing - the kids didn't seem to notice.  I should have packed their swim shorts after all. They played with driftwood and in the sand dunes for hours.



One of the hilights of our weekend was the Sand Dune Tour Ride.  We boarded a huge 1930 Buick and it sped through the sand dunes and drove us to an amazing overlook.



Mimi was nice enough to stay back with Grace
We walked around downtown Saugatuck, ate lunch at the Harbor and we also did a Duck Boat tour throughout the weekend.


What a remarkable weekend!  We can't wait to explore more of Michigan in the future!  Jack is determined to move there when he is older.
