Weekend Getaway

Kris, Stian and I are in St. Joseph, MI for the weekend. The boys are both napping after a nice afternoon at the beach, so I thought I'd put up a few pictures. St. Joseph is only about 2 1/2 hours from our home in Battle Ground, and is a very nice little town - very cute. We have a great hotel suite that overlooks the beach and Lake Michigan. The suite is great so that we don't have to be quiet and sit in the dark while Stian is napping or asleep for the night.

We drove up yesterday and stopped at the incredible outlet mall in Michigan City. We didn't really spend that much money, but we could have! Then we got to St. Joseph in the afternoon and were able to get into our room around 3:00, so Stian could take a short nap before dinner. He wasn't too kean on napping yesterday, so it was just a quick one. Then we had a nice dinner in the hotel restaurant, which is rather swanky. We sat on the patio and Stian enjoying watching the vehicles and people go past.

We had quite the storm roll through last night. It was neat to watch it come in across the lake from our 6th story suite.

This morning was cool and very foggy, so we just wandered around town for a little while. Then we came back and all took a nap. Around noon the sun had come out so we got Stian up and headed to the beach, which is just a short walk down the hill from our hotel. The beach is very nice. The water is quite cold though! But Stian had such a blast playing in the sand and in the water. We'll have to see if we can get down to the beach again in the morning before we check out.
