Weekend Adventures

It is Wednesday, but I am still feeling the ripples of refreshment and the tinge of adventure from our holiday weekend. 


The hotel we stayed at was really cool, a legitimate eco-conscious place with a cool, minimalist vibe




We went for a couple of walks around town...stopping to smell the flowers...


...and eat ice cream! This is the "sand dune" from Captain Sundae. Uh, yum. 




We found a couple of lovely trails that were new to us, so we meandered through the trees.


And we got a great view of this working windmill!




Downtown Holland is full of quirky little details, like intricate stonework or vintage signs. 


Sunset over Lake Macatawa


We found this lovely, dune-shielded beach in Laketown.


And we climbed this dune to get to it! Oy, my calves!!



Ah, but it was so, so worth it. Lake Michigan was refreshing, and we were serenaded by the soft crash of waves all afternoon! 



On the way home, the hubs spontaneously pulled into the parking lot of this antiques store.


I fell in love with this punch-stiching piece. 


It used to be a tool-shop! 

All-in-all, a wonderfully refreshing little adventure. What did you do over the long-weekend?
