Beach Time

We took a day trip up to the Dunes before heading to Chicago and it was a lot of fun. Nora's first trip to the beach was a success.  I'm so glad it was last weekend and not this weekend because the humidity was really low.  I've never been up to the Indiana Dunes, but for a short 2.5 hours from Indy, all interstate, to go to the beach wasn't bad.  We went to Central Beach in Beverly Shores, highly recommend to anyone planning a trip up there in the future.  It was free and free to park-we packed a cooler and had lunch & snacks for the day.  Outside of the 60 degree water (brr it was cold) and the nuclear plant to the east in the distance you wouldnt know you were in Indiana! Here are some pictures from our day:

Today

Today we are headed up to the Dunes in Northern Indiana to have a little beach time.  We are picking Jackie up at a train station near by and Jason, Tab, & Bella are meeting us up there.  It should be interesting, but we have packed a beach umbrella & two chairs (that I found on CL for $10) and a pop up baby tent to shade Nora.  Cooler packed with a picnic lunch and bags packed for the rest of the weekend in Chicago visiting the Dimitts! We are so excited...and will post pictures from our trip when we return from our mini-trip
