Why we didn't go....

So last weekend we head for the boat with thoughts of coasting down the shore to South Haven dancing in our heads. Ha ha! Thursday night we left our house and set off to Grand Haven. We had reservations for a slip in South Haven, which is the 2nd time my husband has made reservations. Checking the weather before we left, there was a chance, a rather big chance, that we might not be able to make the trip due to the weather. First thing Friday morning, my husband and I went and got coffee then made our way down to the beach to see how the lake was looking. The website I checked for wave heights said 6 to 8 footers, but I didn't really expect to see them:


The beach was empty, except for the seagulls, who didn't seem to mind us being there;




It was so windy that when the seagulls would try to run away from the water, they would get all fluffy, which they didn't seem to like, so they would run then turn around very quickly! They were also hoovering in the wind, a few of them right next to us as we were walking toward the shore. Even though our trip was out of the question we had quite an experience on this morning and we had an awesome day just checking out things in Grand Haven and Muskegon and Whitehall. All of which I will talk about later!

Signs, Signs, every where

So I was looking at another blog, and she seems to have a photography group, probably much like the one that I am involved in, in the winter time. Anyway the group has a theme each month or week of things that you go out and find. It just reminded me of some restaurants and signs we found when we went on our Ludington trip. These I found in Pentwater, it was an adorable little town, I would like to visit it again....maybe stop at the "Bitchen Kitchen"

Stop in and have a drink at the Antler Bar with the antler door handle,



This sign I just liked because it had an aged feel to it.

This was a cute little shop:

And they had a great Latte`!!

Of course if we went back we would hope to see this again, and maybe find out if it is advertising for something?


This place is in Grand Haven, we happened to find it the week my son and I stayed at the boat.


The rest of my sign photos are on my back up which is still at the boat so enjoy these ones for now!!
