Another Blind Date

Last week we needed a break from moving details, packing, budgeting, travel plans etc, so I took Brandon on a blind date to get away for the day. 

Brandon about to discover that we're going to try sandboarding at Warren Dunes State Park

Getting ready to sandboard for the first time

A sandboarding natural

Naturally...

Not as much of a natural

But, I eventually get the hang of it

All the way to the bottom 

Alas there is no lift, so we have to climb all the way back up to do it again

And again!

When we need a break...

We are entertained by a very impressive wind glider

And a paraglider trying to get off the ground

Second stop of the blind date is Tapistry Brewing in Bridgman, MI

We ordered a flight and the bartender gave us two free samples so we could try all the beers on tap!

Third and final stop the Silver Beach Carousel in St Joseph, MI

Brandon picked a raptor to ride

I wanted a giraffe, but they never go up and down on the carousel so I settled for a zebra

To Brandon's delight we stumbled upon some dolphins at the beach! 

Another successful blind date completed!
