the beach and Duluth

We went to the beach for the day, it was nice, not bad water temp, nice enough beach but not the best by far-I think the prettiest was Sandbanks, just like the ocean, and our fave was Charleston, with Bon Echo and Sandbanks in a close second. It was a gorgeous day, we lounged, swam, burned our feet in the sand, walked, played in the park. Really relaxing. Dave and I are just getting ready for some mussels mariniere and vino, alfresco after the soccer game and the kiddos are in bed. It is a gorgeous evening.

It was funny, we pulled out the map when we were driving to the beach, and it was the same map we used travelling from the east to here(US route). It had marked all our stops, and it was funny the places I was suddenly remembering. One in particular was Duluth-it was beautiful, on the shores of Lake Michigan, it is kind of set on a hill and there is a big bridge that reminded me of one in Montreal like when you go to Mt. Royale-driving over the water like that it looked similar. Anyways, the hotel we stayed in had a salt water pool with a stainless steel bottom-it was really cool. I had forgotten all about that!
