Holiday in Michigan

I'm off to the Midwest my dears - flying into Chicago tonight and then driving to the Lake Michigan coast Friday morning. The reason for my vacation - meeting my boyfriends parents for the first time!!

He's a Midwesterner at heart - born and raised in Michigan, so we're making the trek back to his home turf. We're meeting up with his parents up in the picturesque beachy town of South Haven, staying at a B&B, enjoying the sea and shore, and soaking up the last few days of summer before heading to a friend's wedding Saturday night.

Have a fantastic weekend! Cheers!

    Oh, have fun. Guy's parents are just usually happy that any girl likes their son so you already have it in the bag.

    So jealous, I am! I grew up in Chicago and Lake Michigan was our 'beach'. I loved to stay at B & B's in Michigan. Have a great time!
