We are back and recovering from relaxing so much! We really enjoyed our time away and REALLY enjoyed being with our precious friends Jen, Ryan, Isaac, Dan, Jamie, Cindi and Pete. I am so grateful for those God has allowed us to be friends with and how often we get to travel and see different ones. This trip was a gift from God.


We relaxed and took walks in the cool Michigan air. We watched the Olympics. We ate yummy food and had way too much Starbucks. We had Turtle Ice Cream Sundaes. We chatted and laughed. On Tuesday Fred and I went exploring. We ended up Kayaking on the Kalamazoo river. Walking around Saugatuck and window shopped. Then, we went to the beach on Lake Michigan and took a walk and put our feet in the ice cold lake (for one second). After all that, we headed back to Holland, one of our favorite places in the world, and just walked around like tourists. The day was fabulous.

On Wednesday, we spent the day with Jen and Isaac. Drank Starbucks on the front porch in our jeans with blankets on our laps to keep the chill away!! Sure beats the 107 degree that Dallas was experiencing. Then, Jen and I went to the mall and then home to get the guys, grab dinner and catch a late flight. We were home at midnight, in our own bed.

It was so nice to relax and sit around with no agenda except pleasure!! I really felt like I was on vacation!!!
