Holland, MI

A few weeks after our long trip home, we went on a mini-vacation with our friends from med. school. It's funny how it happened. When we first met them 4 years ago, neither one of us had kids. We said when this med school journey was over, we would go on vacation together- maybe to Hawaii. Then came the boys. Their son was born 10 months before Liam. Our trip moved to Northern Michigan- still beautiful and fun, and just an 8 hour drive away. Then came the girls. Their daughter was born 5 months before London. we went to Holland, MI, which is a 3 hour drive from our house!

It was really a beautiful little place with a dutch heritage, Lake Michigan Beaches, and lots of fun things to do. We got a suite with two bedrooms so we could put our kids to bed early and hang out and play games and watch movies- yes, we are wild, wild people. But it was a blast!

Liam and Isaac going for a bike ride- Yes, Liam is wearing a pink helmet. It's mine- his didnt fit him anymore.

Josh and the boys with the bike trailer. That's "Big Red", the lighthouse.

You'll have to tilt your head to the right to see this one. A little further...there you go. Sorry. I can't upload vertical pics tonight for some reason, but I wanted to share this one anyway. That's a giant working dutch windmill- they make flour with it.
