The campground office here is closed now, so I'm not working any more. Wiley is going to put in two weeks, pretty much full time, doing some landscaping and work on the lakes. I'm going to go visit with Tom and Kristin for a few days next week--my last visit for a while :( Then we're going to visit Florida for a week the last week in September.
While we were off this week, we went north to Ludington on Tuesday and South to Holland on Wednesday. The weather was beautiful, if a little warmer than it's been before. This lighthouse at Ludington sits at the end of a long breakwater. We enjoyed walking out to the very end. Having weekdays off means we don't have to share the sights with a lot of other people!
On the way to Holland, we stopped at a state park. The Little Sable Light is one of the prettiest lighthouses we've seen. It's all brick and sits on top of a high dune. The lake was just gorgeous in shades ranging from dark blue to jade green.
The trip to Holland included another lighthouse, this one with a roof designed like roofs in Holland.
We took a hike. It was really steep, but the views of the lake were fantastic. It seems so strange to hike on what looks like mountain trails but they're sandy! As you get away from the lake, the sand dunes are forested with maple, oak and beech trees. The trail in this picture leaves the forest and goes down several flights of stairs to the beach. Gorgeous!
We enjoyed a stop for ice cream at this cute little beach store. It reminded me of summers when I was a kid.
We finished up our lazy days with a short bike ride on a trail near camp. A good time was had by all!

Are any of the lighthouses open for climbing? They all look very inviting.
A couple of them let you go up them. We really like searching them out in our travels--they're very photogenic!
Nice pictures, my fave is the last one :) Congrats on the California job can't wait to hear about another side of the country
Congrats on your job.
