Happy Birthday to Me!

It's my birthday!
Wahoo!
I had to work the actual day, but got a lovely surprise from Rick while at work.

And I got this cool gift from my mom- one of my grandpa's old harmonica's.
Playing was a trademark of his, and I have very fond memories of it.

For my birthday celebratory weekend we went up North to Port Austin.

We got to kayak and camp along Lake Huron, and it was just beautiful!



Loved Turnip Rock- what a cool place!



Made a stop at the historic Grindstone General Store for their "kiddie" size ice cream.
It was insane! And it is all handmade there, and SOOOO good.

We spent so much time basking in the beautiful water.
Sophia was so happy.

We camped right along the lake in Port Crescent State Park, and it was just a perfect summer sunset.

What is it about sunsets that quiets us from the inside out?

I love this photo of the kid running into the water at sunset.
It's just so summer.


I love the grasslands around the lakes up here.
It feels like being on the East Coast.

Another fun day in the lake- the water was so crystal clear and warm.



Going up North was just perfect and restorative! 
We also stopped at an amazing farm-to-table for dinner on the way home.
It was truly the perfect birthday weekend!

I am so lucky that I even got to celebrate again the next week with some of the best ladies I know.
I think this is where #blessed is used ;)
