Happy Spring Break

We left after to church this afternoon to head for a little cottage out in the countryside of Michigan. We got here around 6:30 this evening, unpacked, went out for dinner at a little ma and pa place that was recommended by some locals, and then headed to the grocery store to stock up for the week.

Bee has been wanting to see a beach, so on the way up here, we stopped at a state park right on Lake Erie and got out so she could see the beach. Not exactly beautiful this time of the year, and the wind and cold left much to be desired, but she loved it anyway. As soon as we got close enough to dig her fingers into the sand, she did.

As we drove-up we were listening to the radio and discovered that the entire area is under a late winter storm warning! Yippee! When we got the computer hooked up, I got on and discovered that we are forecasted to get 6-8 inches of snow by morning! Yah, happy spring break, huh! I know, that's what we get for going to Michigan for spring break. We've been told before that it's the wrong direction.

I have a question for anyone who lives up here in Michigan... We noticed when we've been up here before that all the items in the grocery store are individually tagged with their prices, even in big places like Walmart and Meijer. Is this a Michigan thing or is it just something that this particular county does? The only stores in other places we've been that individually label all the stuff are the little tiny ones, and even then not all of them do it. Silly thing to wonder about, but I thought I'd ask.

Maybe I'll post some pics of the deer in the snow in the morning! Goodnight!

It's nice you were able to get away for a while. Even if you're going to get a bunch of snow. I think we're supposed to get snow this week too, but it's thundering outside right now. Take a bunch of pics and have a good time!

It is a State law that every product be labeled with a price in the state of Michigan.
