My Happy Place

First, thank you all for your sweet, kind, and supportive comments on my breastfeeding story.  I was a little nervous to share, so to get positive feedback was so very heartwarming.  It really makes me want to take a step back and spend time writing more posts like that, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

All of that being said, I'm going to take a mini blogging break.  

We're currently in Chicago and we'll be heading out to Lake Michigan this Sunday.  

Lake Michigan is my happy place.  

I grew up going here in the summer and it is the one place that I go back to and instantly feel like a kid again.  My grandmother's view from her house is above...that's the lake in the background.  There's a small bayou that lights up with fireflies at night and the sand dunes beyond that.  As kids, we would hike down to the beach, play hide and go seek in the dunes, float the river, horse back ride and play flash light tag in the old Indian cemetery.  I loved feeding the ducks with my grandma, getting soft serve in town, and watching the rolling thunder and lightning storms during the summer nights.

I'm so excited to introduce this place to Ethan.  Though he's too young to appreciate it now, I know we'll go back in the summers and he'll get to experience the same magic that we did growing up.

So with that, I hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend.  I'll check back in after the long holiday!
