Yesterday we drove all the way to Northern Michigan,with absolutely no problems. Jon let me sleep quite a bit, so the trip felt alot shorter to me :)
Today has been blissful, and I know I can feel the stress of work sliding away into the clear waters of Charlevoix. Auntie cooked wonderful waffles for us all for breakfast. We let the food settle in, and then decided to all hop in the water and play! I haven't played in the water in a long time, and we has blast doing head stands, watching the "boys" [aka, Jon J, Jon L., and Josh....J3 basically...] compete jumping off the dock. Slowly we tired and came up for some lunch. Having eaten heartily, a nap was the order of the day, and we all trickled off to various couches and beds around the house for a few minutes. Or hours- I'm not quite sure; time has a strange way of slowing down up here.
Upon waking, Jon and Josh took the sunfish out for a sail, and I stayed behind to chat with the family. Wonderful! When they returned, we kept chatting until dinner: home-made tasty stromboli made by auntie herself! YUMMY! After eating, we took the boat into down-town Charlevoix to stroll around and find Jon a Charlevoix sweatshirt. While we couldn't find a place to dock the boat (pop-pop Tom came and drove it back), we still were able to stroll around Charlevoix (it is basically one main street..) and found Jon a Charlevoix fleece. We grabbed some ice cream, strolled around some more, and got in the car to come back. On the way home we saw the sun setting, and quickly found an access road to Lake Michigan, where we watched the sun set over the lake. BEAUTIFUL!
We came home, ate more ice cream, and closed out the evening watching "Good Will Hunting." What a brilliant day!
