A Day on the Lakeshore

We spent much of Wednesday enjoying the lakeshore. First we headed to Holland to spend some time with our dear friends Craig and Vicky. We had a lovely time catching up on life with them and eating a very chocolatey dessert with homemade ice cream. 

Next we headed to Saugatuck Dunes State Park and did our favorite hike to the beach and back. It was the perfect sunny, breezy day and the Lake Michigan shoreline was beautiful as always.

I never tire of visiting the lake

We then headed to a nearby driving range. Brandon wanted to get some golf practice in before playing a round with my dad this week and later playing again with his relatives during Memorial Day weekend. He gave me some pointers as usual, and I actually hit significantly better than last year. Of course, Brandon's hits overshadowed mine. That's fine. I have no aspirations to become a golfer. I'll stick with the rock climbing and snowboarding. 

Brandon is very brave to be around me when I'm wielding a metal object

Pretending I'm relatively decent at golf

Brandon is all smiles

We ended our time on the Lakeshore by heading to Salt of the Earth, a farm to table restaurant in Fennville. It was finally time to use the gift card from my birthday. It's pretty pricey, but every time we go we are impressed by their chicken dish. I have seriously never had such tender chicken anywhere else. Check it out if you're curious.
