Yes, that’s where I’ve been the past week – vacationing. Last week, we went to the Traverse City, MI area with my family for a five-night stay – mainly to celebrate my mother’s 60th birthday. We hit the sand dunes, mini golf, Lake Michigan, and a drive-in theatre and filled the rest of our time with eating, swimming, games, movies, and other enjoyable activities. I also got to watch “Cupcake Wars”. Without cable at home, special moments with the Food Network is always a treat!
Although vacation sometimes doesn’t feel like much of a “break” as we continue to carry the responsibilities of parenthood, it is still a break from the norm. We ate out more, weren’t pressed by the clock, escaped some of our everyday household duties, and enjoyed more leisure in general. I have enjoyed having my husband home for the past week, and now we try to head into the next week with grace from our Lord – asking Him to strengthen us to regroup and plow ahead once again.

Climbing the dune climb!
Some of us handled the car rides better than others.
S’mores at the fire pit.
Have you had done any vacationing or do you have any plans to do so?
Wow, love the photos! I used to live just 45 mins from there! ;)
ReplyDeleteWe hope to take many camping trips this summer and a trip to Redding, CA! We usually go to Michigan for the summer but the Lord had different plans for us!
