My birthday is this week. Unfortunaely, Jim has to be gone from today till Wednesday and my birthday is smack in the middle. We are mainly celebrating this coming weeke
nd, but a few days ago we decided to take the opportunity to travel up north a little bit. One of the places we stopped was the amazing little town of Empire where the Philip A. Hart Sleeping Bear Dunes Visitor's Center is located. I've been there with my parents when I visited them while they camped up there. The wonderful thing about the beach is that it is within sight of the Sleeping Bear Dunes, but not that many people go there, which is such a nice change compared to South Haven. we were able to walk right out onto the beach and pick any spot we wanted. We relaxed and took a nap in the sun and listened to the few other famililes that were out there. we didn't have time to go to the dunes, but defi
netly will later on.

We're hoping to bogart one of my parents fishing and camping trips that are coming up so that we can go kayaking on some of the small lakes in the area and go to the dunes. There are also some wonderful restaurants in the area that are not too expensive.
This weekend we also got to see my friends Angie and John who were visiting from England. I got to see their new baby, Andrew John, for the first time. It was great to get to see 
their uber cute baby and catch up on things in their lives. It was also great to see Jessica, a friend of Angie's who I hung out with when Angie was here. We even ran into Lisa on her way out and saw that her scrapes from her bike accident are healing nicely. She really is evidence that helmets are a necessary thing when riding a bike or roller blading. I was happy that Angie and John were able to meet Jim, because she's been hearing a lot about him. as we left, she said, "You take good care of her," which made me laugh but he answered with a serious, "I will."
