Weekend Trip
In celebration of our anniversary, Jason and I went to South Haven, Michigan for the weekend. Our friends Cathy and David suggested checking out Martha's Vineyard, a bed and breakfast. It truly was a dream come true! We stayed in the Cranston Suite. From the gardens, to the pond, to the hammock... everything was just amazing. And the weather was just gorgeous. We couldn't have asked for a better setting!

Here is a picture of the guest house from where we entered.

We started the three hour drive on Friday night after Jason got off of work. After we checked in and got all the details from Ginger, one of the owners, we headed into South Haven to get some dinner. We ordered a pizza to go from a local place, Americilli's, stopped at Walgreens for some essentials, and headed back. After enjoying the pizza, we went outside to where they had a stand alone fire pit and roasted marshmallows.

Since we were staying in the "guest house," our breakfast was delivered right to our door in a picnic basket. After enjoying a breakfast of caramel apple pancakes, yogurt, grapefruit, and orange juice we showered and made our way into town. We walked down to the marina to see the lighthouse and perused some of the shops down there. We had lunch at the Harborside Bistro. Once we returned to Martha's, we napped in a hammock, then moved to the room and napped there! For dinner we ventured to Sagatuck, Michigan, 20 minutes north of South Haven. Dinner was at The Butler, and again we walked the marina and the shops. We headed back to the beach in South Haven and were just able to catch the sunset over Lake Michigan. It was absolutely beautiful!!!!

Once again we enjoyed breakfast delivered to our room. This time it was more to Jason's liking! We had roasted potatoes, a mini quiche, cinnamon rolls, and fresh watermelon and blueberries. After we checked out and left the fairy tale behind, we went into town to take picture of the lighthouse since my camera wasn't working the day before. We also went to an art fair that was going on. It was huge! And Jason was such a good sport about letting me browse. On our way back to Lafayette, we stopped at the Michigan City outlet mall. It was truly memorable, and I'm sure we will make a return trip!

I am so happy for your second anniversary turning into a great memory! That's it, I am going to retire and open a bed and breakfast, just like you suggested. Beautiful scenery, a pond, hammock, breakfast in a basket and beautiful memories. Cathy and David came up with a great suggestion. Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.
Love ya both! Mom
