a much-needed break

ohhhhhh vacation.

*sigh*.

the Dr. and I were able to get away for a while last week; we had the most glorious time on our getaway in Saugatuck, Michigan.  enjoy these photos and start planning your own getaway *today*!  (we even got our B&B on a Groupon -- totally affordable!!!!) :)

walk/hiking along in Saugatuck Dunes State Park!
look how the trails are sandy!
after a 30-45 minute walk or so, up some pretty intense hills... you FINALLY get to the top of this sandy hill and it's like a choir sings, "Hallelujah!!!" and you see THIS.  lovely, lovely Lake Michigan and a wonderful sandy beach! :)

chillin' at the dunes! :)
all of the grass at the Dunes State Park was planted BY-HAND by Michigan State students, several years ago!  we learned that the grass is much of the reason that the dunes stay in place and don't shift around!!




Saugatuck is a center for all kinds of artists to do and sell their work!  there are beautiful things EVERYWHERE in the city!

see the large boat in the background? on the last day we were there, a large crowd of people was gathered simply to watch this boat get pulled out of the mud!  apparently it had been stuck all winter-- and a bunch of tugboats & the fire department and other crews were all there just to pull it out!! --and literally everyone came to watch! haha oh small town life! :)
our sweet little B&B - the Twin Gables Inn!
it was so WONDERFUL to watch a sunset with my love :)


what a wonderful time in Saugatuck!!!!  we praise God for the opportunity to get away and thank Him for all the much-needed time we had together. :)
