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?

Meal Plan Monday

A few posts ago, I casually let it slip that we are going up north in...well let's see...less than 2 weeks now!!!

Ahem.

Not that I'm excited or anything. 

I'm currently so *not* excited, that I've already begun compiling a meal-plan for our weekend. Here are some excerpts:








Steak Hash with Eggs (mine will likely not be poached!)

Mmmh. I am getting SO hungry(...and excited)!

 But tell me, friends, what sorts of foods do you like to prepare on vacation? Any easy-to-pack, easy-to-make suggestions? 

p.s. loved this article about packing healthy food for a weekend getaway...

Saturday Snapshot

What a beautiful Saturday!

Days like this make me love the Mitten. It is breezy, sunny and in the 70s. Gorgeous!

Here's what my Saturday is shaping up to look like:

I've discovered a new weekend uniform: this classic striped tee, tucked into wide-legged jeans, and grey ballet flats. I feel so chic!

I walked up to the Cheese Market and bought some fromage to nibble on tonight during book club tonight, including a vintage gouda just like this. Isn't it pretty? 

Hope your weekend is shaping up nicely. Doing anything fun?
