Great pics Goombah! My kids have not seen Lake Michigan (or any of the great lakes) and it's hard to explain to them how it's NOT exactly like the ocean.
Beautiful sunset view and the house looks so homey, like a Walton type home. Glad you had a good time. You will never forget these "family" vacations. As your kids grow, the time will come too soon when they look a little more forward to being with their friends than with the parents on a family vacation. These family memories stay forever though. Enjoy.
