Labor Day In Michigan City

Bry and I spent last weekend with his family in Michigan City. Of course it went too fast...and of course I spent too much money at the outlet mall.:) But other than that, it was an awesome trip.

We stayed in this adorable little resort named Beachwalk. The picture here isn't our house (I still don't have a camera), but it's one of the houses in the resort that looked a lot like ours and it gives you a good idea of the style of the place. Each house was a different crazy color.

And even though it's still in IN, they actually have a lot of things to do there. A pool, tennis court, kayaks, basketball, nice green lawns for bocce ball, Saturday morning Farmer's Market, the Lake Michigan "beach" right across the road, cute restaurants nearby, huge outlets right around the corner, and several wineries within an hour or so. Sadly, we weren't able to pack everything into the three-day weekend, but we did the best we could. My highlights were probably running on the beach and down the lighthouse pier, buying bread and crazy cheeses (layered brie and gorgonzola rolled in garlic and curry) from this fun French family at the Farmer's Market, and wine tasting on our way to eat lunch at The Stray Dog, a lakeside restaurant with a great name in another cute little town next door (New Buffalo).

And the best part is that it was only three hours away. Crazy.

I hope you all had a fabulous Labor Day weekend as well!
