We also hang at the beach...and by the way, Young State Park has an awesome beach on Lake Charlevoix. We can walk from our camper down to the beach in just a couple minutes. We always take our bikes and they get plenty of use, and we will usually make a bike trip into town...although this year we did not.
Many years we will take a family hike on the hiking trails and this year I had a specific goal in mind. I wanted to try and "recapture" a picture we had taken years ago during our family hike of the kids and I. And, the goal was also to try and find the same place...or at least someplace that looked about the same with the tree we were sitting on and the trees behind us. We didn't exactly succeed in duplicating the picture...but it was fun trying and the updated picture of the kids and I was a memory maker in itself.We eat out a lot and have some favorite places, but this year BC Pizza was the place for us. One day I think we had donuts for breakfast and just bread sticks and cheese bread for supper. We were quite the junk food junkies...and lovin every minute!
I buy our firewood by the truck full. We kinda like to keep the fire going...most of the time. It's the kind of fire that you only have to throw a little more kindling on in the morning and the hot coals, and a little fanning or blowing will get it going. And, personally, the coffee maker is a huge part of my vacation needs, along with my little transistor radio...which this year I discovered I could also get working on battery power, so I was able to take it to the beach with us. There is a great radio station out of Petosky that plays a great mix of oldies and pop rock. (Lite 96.3 WLXT) that I usually keep tuned in.
