Last weekend Todd, Deuce and I headed up to Northport for a fantastic summer weekend! We left early from work, and were able to get to the cottage by about 7:30 (with many more bathroom stops than usual--pregnancy is turning me into a questionable roadtrip companion!). We spent a relaxing Friday evening catching up with grandma and grandpa.
Saturday morning we got up, wished grandpa a happy birthday, and headed off to Lake Leelanau. We put the boat in, took it to our favorite sandbar and soaked in some sunshine (still a bit to chilly that morning to swim). When we got hungry, we went in to Leland for our favorite sandwiches from the Cheese Shop in the fishing village (yum--pretzel bread!). After eating our fill (and making TWO stops at the bathroom!) we took the boat back out into the lake and picked up Dan, Nancy and Zeke from the boat launch, headed back to the sandbar and spent the afternoon swimming and laying in the sun. We went back to the cottage in time for a delicious dinner that celebrated Dan and Basil's birthdays. Larry and John came over for dinner after spending a very long day helping to harvest cherries on a local farm.
Sunday morning we left the dogs with grandma and grandpa at the cottage, and Dan, Nancy, Todd and I all put the boat in at Suttons Bay, and boated across Grand Traverse Bay to join up with the Bierlein clan at the cottage they are renting in Elk Rapids. We spent the day lounging on the beach, eating yummy food and catching up with great friends.
All in all it was an excellent weekend!
