Summer Vacation

(Please click on the photo to view more pictures.)

We just got back, last night, from a great week spent in Shelby, MI. You can find our album from the trip here. DLC also have an album started here.

Last Saturday, while Michele got together with girlfriends to throw Tiffany a bachelorette party, Jake and I spent the day together. We hung out around the house, did some shopping, went to Church, and then went with Meme and Papa over for a barbecue at the Philippart's. Then, after Michele went to Church on Sunday, we headed for Lake Michigan. We had a great trip there as Jake's need to eat coincided with ours, resulting in only one stop for food, gas, and a quick car wash.

We then spent the week pretty much down on the beach of Lake Michigan. A lot of Dan's family made the trip over on their own this year including his sisters and their families from Indiana and New Jersey. One day, Dan and I went with his Sister Bonnie, her husband Rich, and their kids Matt and Amanda to Michigan's Adventure. We rode one quick roller-coaster, then spent the rest of the day in the water park. Later in the week, we also went go-carting and played some putt-putt with the same group.

The trip wrapped up nicely Friday evening when we all went to a Fish Boil. Dan, Lynette, Pete, and Teri had all been to a boil in Wisconsin, but it was a first for everyone else. You can read all about the custom here. Also, you can see the "over boil" for yourself in the video below.

It was a fun week, but now it feels like I need another week to decompress. But, it's back to work on Monday for me, and back to a routine for Michele and Jake.
