Summer Fun in Michigan

I can't believe summer is almost over!  We have had an incredibly busy but fun summer.  We took a long vacation to Michigan, Virginia, and North Carolina.  Although I have only been there twice now, Michigan has become one of my new favorite places.  Here are a few of my favorite pictures from Michigan.  (Virginia and North Carolina will have to wait for future posts)

The scenery in Michigan made running awesome.  The humidity, not so much.

Provin Trails

The Choo Choo- awesome chocolate peanut butter shake

Pronto Pups in Grand Haven

Grand Haven lighthouse

Grand Haven, Lake Michigan.  (i can't believe that is a lake!)

A bit different than what I've ever seen in Vegas.

We got to canoe with the YM/YW down this river and then get some Custard at the Dam.

My favorite thing however, was just spending time with Tristram's parents.  It's hard to live so far away from all of Tristram's family and so we cherish anytime that we get to spend with them.  We had good food, good conversations, and good company.  I can't wait to go back!

five months later...

What we've been up to lately:

Work, run, work, run, work, run, talk about work, run, work, talk about running (on repeat).  That is not entirely true but I have been feeling like our life is kinda one dimensional right now.  We do have other interests and talents, I promise!

I think it was that sentiment that drove our choice of date night last Friday. We both put on our flashy new Nike frees, went to la biblioteca, and then got donuts and milk.  We haven't had time to read our books yet but it was fun to switch things up and get out of our normal routine.
