At the Beach
02/24/2014
On Saturday, Tom and I decided that it had warmed up enough that we could take a trip to the beach.
So we drove over to South Haven to see the ice on Lake Michigan.
Ice.
The dunes are ice. The channel is ice. The lake is ice.*
The whole scene is really kind of like a lunar landscape . . . rather than a beach!
No lifeguard?
No problem!
I think Tom says it best . . .

* We visited the Lake Michigan beach AFTER much melting took place late last week -- when the temperature reached all of 40F for a couple of days . . . with lots of rain! But - here it comes again! The Polar Vortex is going to take another shot at us later this week.
Another vortex? We're in the 60s during the day and the skies are blue! While you've had a winter to remember, we've had a non-winter.

Boooooo! No more vortex! Looks like a fun day together - hopefully with a nice lunch or dinner to follow!

Stupid weather.

I think I'll wait until it's at least 60° before I visit the beach!

It looks cold. Really cold. Spring is going to be so wonderful this year. I can hardly wait!

Beach? It looks likr Anarctica! Glad you read the signs and didn't risk a little dip!

Ohhh...can I say it out loud or should I be careful?!?
OK, the Israeli won - I must admit I really like it, looks so different and beautiful, doesn't it?
Did you see the "iceberg" that was created on the north part of Lake Michigan? I wanted to share with you the photo I saw on Facebook but can't locate it right now.

Wow. You two are BRAVE. In a similar vein, you might enjoy this post about the Lake Superior ice caves by another bloggy friend who lives in Duluth.
