Port Huron {Lighthouse Beach}

My parents stayed over a week with us in Michigan and we were blessed to be able to go and see so much together. We also had a few pajama days and stayed home and talked, played, and had snacks.

On their last full day with us, we drove up the eastern coast to the town of Port Huron. We really didn't know what we would see, but just felt adventurous and had no expectations but to explore. We discovered Lighthouse Beach by accident and the rest of the day was history.

The sun sank over the horizon, and we just enjoyed the waves and the sand, all in the shadows of the lighthouse.

Our first stop was at Dairy Queen for treats!


Michigan is so dreamy on the coast. I never tire of the sailboats.







This bridge is another major Canadian border crossing in Port Huron.








All the white sails catching wind is "magazine cover" worthy!


 Sandy beaches, sailboat watching, and the towering aged lighthouse made for a cheery day!








Harbor sat right down in wet sand and was in awe of the breaking waves. We were, too.











We have made such precious, precious memories as a family this summer.






Harbor thoroughly enjoyed yelling and screeching as the water broke over his little legs.











What a fun surprise to happen upon this beach. Sometimes the best moments in life happen unplanned.




Three generations of sandy feet



The sailboats were so close {and elegant.}
They just appeared to float above the water, soaring this way and that.


This is Michigan. Who knew it was so gorgeous?  : ) 


Today was my first full day home in Arkansas with my family. After driving 15.5 hours in the truck, we arrived tired, but happy. Harbor seemed unphased by the long drive and never threw a single fit. I'm so thankful he is so easy going. Tonight we celebrated Rachel's 21st birthday at Coldstone.

I'm enjoying seeing all the votes on the poll.
 I'm looking forward to answering your questions or planning out a vlog
{though I have no idea what I would talk about! Haha!}

Arkansas pictures coming soon!
