I had an AMAZING mini weekend vacation with my mom, my only wish…that it was longer. I can’t believe that it is now Monday, I have to go back to work. Hopefully, another trip is around the corner 😉
This weekend, my mom and I planned a little weekend get-away trip to her hometown of Grand Haven, MI. It had been a while since either of us had been there, and my mom wanted to take me there so that we could do all of the “touristy” things. The town is small, and located right on the beach of Lake Michigan. It is the perfect destination for a little weekend trip.
We started out the morning bright and early so that we could hit the road ASAP…look out Grand Haven, the Deals are coming.
We then loaded up the car, and headed to Grand Haven, MI, my mom’s home town. The first stop was Rosy Mound for a little hike on the the beach.
The hike was only about 2 miles, but boy were we sweating by the end! There were plenty of stairs and even a little sand for us to trudge through. It was a good leg workout for sure 😉
Luckily, there was a water station. I think this is the fanciest drinking fountain I have seen!
We then decided to change out of our sweaty clothes and into our bathing suits with flowy dresses over them. Our next stop was to eat lunch and then head to the beach.
We stopped for lunch at this local restaurant called Kirby House. It had a fun feel to it, and mom and I both agreed that it was probably a pretty popular spot at night, but there was one thing that appealed to my mom and me….outdoor rooftop seating!
The wait staff was funny and friendly and gave us great recommendations. My mom ended up ordering an olive and blue cheese burger with onion rings and their spiked with Jack Daniels ketchup.
I made sure to help my mom with the onion rings 😉 I ordered the Farmer’s Market grinder, which was a hot sandwich with melted mozzarella, spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes and a lemon oregano dressing. On the side, I had a mini salad.
It was warm, gooey and delicious!
After our bellies were full, we began to walk down to the beach, with the intentions of laying out for a bit and catching some rays. Unfortunately, that is when the clouds and wind started to roll in with a little bit of rain. Nothing too bad, we just ended up walking out to the end of the pier rather than laying in the sun.
That is all for now, but I hope you have an amazing start to your Monday. Stay tuned for Grand Haven Part II later today!!
