4 nights sleeping on a boat, while our kids get spoiled by grandma!
Our friends were making a trip across Lake Michigan, to Muskegon and then up to Ludington, and asked if we wanted to to join. We were essentially going to "live" on the boat and dock at the marinas once we arrived in those cities. It was something we've never done, so we thought why not. We left on Wednesday, right before noon (and right after a bon voyage mimosa!) when the lake looked to be the most calm, according to the coast guard. It took us 3.5 hours to get to Muskegon, with a stop in the middle for a quick swim and snacks.

Then on Friday we left Muskegon around 1 and "drove" north for almost 2 hours to Ludington. This marina had a pool and was only a block away from a brewery and downtown. We had better weather here - like I came home a little burnt :(

Now this is all the fun the kids had while we were having ours! They went to the FDL park, which is an old memory for me as a kid. It's very little kid friendly and the aunties and cousins all got to hang out!!

| Tara said they liked this ride so much, they went on it twice |

This was Saturday when Grandpa Irv was off work. He took the fishing boat to Long Lake
and Drew caught the first fish!! They were both so excited. |
