The rain finally stopped this morning at daybreak, and we knew we needed to take advantage of whatever good weather we had since the forecast isn't great for the rest of the weekend.
So after breakfast at a Michigan City diner, we packed up the campsite and headed for the Indiana Dunes.
I wasn't familiar with this, but Liz has been to the Dunes, when she was younger. We pitched a picnic site and had a sand-seasoned lunch.
The water was too rough for swimming. We waded along the surf instead. The boys liked fleeing from the waves.
Then the lifeguards told us we couldn't even wade at the edge because of the riptide threat.
Good thing we got our fun in early.
And then there was the Devil's Slide. The boys loved walking up the sand hill and running down. Even Jonah, with a little help.
In this photo, if you zoom in, you can see the Chicago skyline on the far horizon.
We're on our way to Sandusky, Ohio, driving in the rain again. The boys, who are asleep in the back seat, said after leaving the Dunes that it's definitely someplace we should go back to. Maybe next time we'll snag a campsite right at the state park.
