Beach

On Monday morning, we headed out of town. It felt more like a vacation than a cross country move since it was just the two of us. In the early afternoon, we stopped at Indiana Sand Dunes. Bob braved the chilly Lake Michigan water and plunged in alongside "10,000 of our closest friends who were also enjoying summer weather and seeking relief from heat." I enjoyed the warm sand on my bare feet and the lovely vistas. If one did not look to the left nor the right - where the smoke stacks loomed large on the horizon - this could have been a beach located on any of the many tropical islands in the Caribbean. Lake Michigan is truly beautiful, impressive, and no salty taste in the mouth for those brave enough to swim.
