08/03/05 - Alden, MI (on Torch Lake) (Photos) Visiting family and relaxing on beautiful Torch Lake |

Four long days of driving across Mexico and the US. One week recuperating from the drive, visiting with Caroline's family and doing some whirlwind necessary shopping (bathing suits in Mexico are sooo tiny!) in and around Grand Haven, MI.
And then...ahhhhh, 3-1/2 days of pure bliss sitting in a lounge chair reading or just gazing out at the unbelievably beautiful blue waters of Torch Lake, enjoying the cool breezes, catching up with Scott's parents and Kowalewski uncle and cousins, watching the kids, Marylin (2), Vito (1) and Jimmy (10 mos.) play in the sand, swimming, taking an occasional pontoon boat ride and making memories to recall in years to come. The weather's been hot and sunny and the lake is having one of its warmest years ever, by popular Kowalewski consensus. No responsibilities, no logistics, no remodeling. In a word, heavenly.
It's time to return to Grand Haven tomorrow for the tail end of the Grand Haven Coast Guard Festival; Caroline simply couldn't miss Art in the Park, the deliciously greasy elephant ears and Ferris wheel at the carnival, the parade, grand finale fireworks and Mom's homemade blueberry crisp, of course! It's been a wonderful few days and we are sad to go, but Caroline will be happy to no longer be sharing a bathroom with six other people! |
