My Secret Paradise

As I set off for another adventure out of the city - this one leading me to Ann Arbor, Denver and India (leaving me in my apartment a total of 5 days in an entire month) it is time to reflect on an incredible vacation home...

I spent 10 days in the good ol' U.P. with my fellow Yoopers kayaking, biking, swimming, playing tennis, golf, strawberry picking and eating Patti K's good food over the 4th of July
- Spending a week with my best friend Kathrin (love sick) who experienced skinny dipping for the first time
- Kayaking, how I love to be on the crystal clear water
- Kaking with my dog on my lap...maddy I thought you were tough what have mom and dad done to you!
- Discovering a new water access only beach - Flat Rock beach - and stopping by banana beach. Who's ready for a trip?
- Watching a beautiful sunset on Lake Superior...alone
- Donating 14 inches of long brown hair to locks of love and being devestated afterwards
- Spending time with my grandparents - Bumpy, Pops and Grams - Pops makes mosaic mirrors, clocks and pots. The last 12 inch pt he made had over 400 glass pieces in the top 2 inces. Gorgeous. He said he'd put me in his will :)
- Playing golf with Pops and his new maize and blue driver - Go Blue! - gotta love it
- Eating Daddy's bbq pork steak, shish kabobs with pineapple and bbq chicken - love that bbq!
- Catching up with an old friend, some things never change - Leslie I love you
- Water skiing - best ski of my life - getting up first try and skiing till I was exhausted
- Sailing for the first time! Loved it.
- Just chillen out in my red chair petting my puppy maddog

This was amazing trip home where I was once again reminded of the things I love most.
