Day 2

Day 2

Yesterday was definitely a busy day. It started at 7 AM Central Time right outside of Chicago. After waking and getting ready, my family and I headed to Chicago for the day where we walked and drove around the city. I had only been to Chicago once before and enjoyed it even more the second time even though we only spent a day there. The weather was a perfect 83 degrees and sunny. I was hoping to be able to take lots of good pictures there but because the visit was so rushed I was only able to take pictures from inside the car.

After Chicago, we loaded back into the car and headed to St. Josephs, Michigan. On the way there we passed a sign for Pulaski, Illinois which I freak out about! My family made fun of me and called me weird cause they didn’t understand that Casmire Pulaski is one of our (Emily and I) favorite songs by Sufjan Stevens. Anyway, once we arrived in St. Joseph, we walked around the town for a little while and then headed to the beach (the town is located on Lake Michigan). The whole town and especially the beach were crowded due to the art and music festival in town. Even though it was crowded it was still a nice town. The beach was really pretty and I took tons of pictures but most of them didn’t turn out because they sun was in a bad position for pictures. I’ll edit them to see if that helps though.

After St. Josephs we were going to head to Holland but it was already dark by then so we headed on to our lake house. I was disappointed we weren’t able to go but I’ve been there a couple times before so it was ok. We finally arrived at Cordley Lake at about 11:00 PM. As soon as I got to my room I dropped my bags and went to bed.

I’ll blog about today tomorrow.

Ah. I miss my friends. 5 more days then Chattanooga!

P.S.: Pictures later.... the internet is slow and it would take forever to upload right now.

Adios!
