A little vacation and closeups

 

Hey–

 

I have Live! closeups for you, but I thought I'd share a couple pics from our modified vacation. 🙂

 

If you didn't watch my Live!, we DIDN'T go to Maine.

Weather changed our plans (flight) too much so that we wanted a do over another time.

 

We would have missed too much of our trip–including our lobstering excursion!! 🙁

 

So we ended up going to Traverse City for a couple days, and we took an excursion to Sleeping Bear Dunes.

 

We'd highly recommend Up North Tours.

Matt was awesome!

We learned a lot about the dunes and the Great Lakes ecosystem in general.

 

Here are a few pics:

 

 

 

 

 

Of course no trip is complete without Todd's early morning exploring, while I'm happily sleeping. 😉

 

 

 

I have one last pic for you….

If you watched my Live!, I mentioned Todd had the awesome idea to google search lobster rolls in (we unsuccessfully tried TVC) Grand Rapids, and we scored!!!!

Beacon Corner Bar (next to San Chez–and I think owned by them–downtown.)

This was the Connecticut style (which I was most interested in after watching YouTube videos).

It was FABULOUS!!!!

FYI, the extra butter was a request by me–doesn't come automatically. 😀

 

We're aiming for Maine again NEXT spring (and will plan for MORE time and flexibility!) and maybe something else this fall.

 

 

Ok, NOW I have my closeups:
