ahh....

We got away this weekend for 24 hours. It was altogether too short, but phenomenal while it lasted. We went up to Michigan to my in-law's cottage on the lake, and it was beautiful. (There's something so soothing about waves, I think.) The best part was that we went up so that Matt could solve some electrical troubles they were having-- which included the well and water heater not working (so we drove up with 20 gallons of water, expecting to not have any running water). Turns out, most of the problems were tripped breakers, and we had running water two minutes after we got there, and Matt didn't have to spend Saturday working (like he usually does). So, what I thought would be a workday in a different place turned out to be 24 hours of total relaxation (aside from getting the car stuck in the snow in the driveway...but what's a vacation without an adventure?) Anyway, the lake was gorgeous...but we couldn't get to the beach because the wind/snow/cold was too much for the baby...so here's a picture from the top of the cliff. More pictures of the cottage here.
