The weather in Silver Lake was mostly cool and rainy. Our view from our hotel, blue skies over matching blue water separated by a strip of sand. Firefly is a good traveling partner. She is not demanding and rolls with the situation when it comes to eating and activities.
We had a good day Friday and made the most of the weather. We took the silver Jeep (my old one) out on the sand dunes for one more run. My silver Jeep (the Punisher), can handle the dunes without issues. I let Firefly do most of the driving. It was her first time experiencing the thrill of bouncing up and down the hills.
She buried it once on the top of the test hill, the tallest of the dunes. She slowed down too early and planted it at the top. It wasn't a big problem. There is always someone willing it give you a pull.
Saturday we went into Ludington. A small town on the shore of lake Michigan. The weather was cold and windy. Firefly did not have any opportunities to strip down to her swimsuit but we made the best of the day exploring the town. Sunday morning the wind we creating large white caps along the shore. The path to the lighthouse was under the waves.
I told her we can try doing one more trip before she leaves for rehab if she has the time. The weeks are going by fast here. I feel like I have a lot I want to do. I have to get the silver Jeep cleaned up and up for sale. We still need to vacuum out all the sand inside it and I need to replace the passenger side fender skirt because some little bug hit a trash can trying to avoid an accident.



Enjoy the last days of summer!
ReplyDeleteYes maybe we can take the new Jeep truck somewhere.
DeleteSeptember can be so magic - I hope you manage to have more outings
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if we will have the time but I will try.
DeleteSorry to hear the weather was a bit uncooperative, especially since the summer was so hot.
ReplyDeleteI know usually I have had good luck traveling this time of year in Michigan. Not so this time.
DeleteIt looks beautiful! I love the waves and the lighthouse.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great get away. Although Firefly needs to focus on herself and not be hiding from what she needs to do.
