Great little trip

We went up to Traverse City Michigan for a quick one night trip and it was great. It was the first time that we stayed the night somewhere as our own little family. It was a last minute decision and we were lucky to find a great hotel. The kids loved staying in the hotel and did great. The hotel had a really fun pool. Highlights of the trip: pizza, ice cream (twice), swimming, climbing the dunes, walking and playing on the beach, beautiful scenery, lunch in cute town Glen Arbor and eating samples of cherry everything (soda, candy, ice cream, trail mix, salsa and more). The best part was just being away from home with Glen and our sweet kids. I love them!!!






Matthew really wanted Taylor to sleep with him in his bed. He kept asking who is going to sleep with me. Our room had two double beds and since he sleeps in a little toddler bed I think he thought someone must sleep on the other half of his bed.


We really lucked out with the weather on memorial day. It was supposed to rain but it didn't rain until we were driving home. It was hot that morning when we climbed the dune climb but cooled off when we are the beach. It was perfect though; it was a little foggy so you can't see from our pictures how pretty it was.




Matthew practiced his picture taking skills on our way to the beach, this was his best shot. Most of them were of the trees outside and were a little blurry.
It was fun to climb up the sand dunes and just play around at the top where it was flat. Matthew just ran so fast up the thing and everywhere. He thought it was the greatest.


Running down the hill...it was a lot steeper than it looks

How nice to be able to spend time together. Sometimes you have to leave where you live for quality time as sad as that is.
