We took a spring trek up to Wisconsin to visit Ryan's grandfather, spend some time at our lake house and ready it for renting season.
So far so good in her new seat! (This happy face didn't last long)
We made an impromptu visit to Tina and Jon's new place in Fort Wayne, IN and also got to see Aunt Della and Uncle Don who had just arrived for the night on their way home from Florida. Thanks to Tina and Jon for hosting an extra three for dinner on really short notice :)
The path to Bapa's beach is a lot shorter this spring. The water level is higher than it has been and high surf over the winter washed away about 15 feet or so of dune grass.
My little helper.
Ahhh. This view.
Its cold, but at least the sun is out.

As always, I will miss this view! Its a beautiful, calm morning to say goodbye. See you in July!
From the country to the city. We went to Chicago to spend a little time with our best buddy, Raj.
