Beach vacation day 2

The next day we had a mission in mind, find the beach!! We had sand and waterfront at our hotel but not a real beach to walk into the water. So off we went...

And talked to the nice Park Ranger who talked about water beyond the dunes, so we thought we would walk up and check it out

We walked up to find miles and miles of sand dunes and WAY on the other side was lake Michigan, or down a few dunes was the other side of silver lake

Cara made a sand angel (so cute that she thought of it on her own)

Standing with Silver Lake in the background and the largest building you can see in the middle of the picture is our hotel

Walking and walking these huge dunes


We finally ended our dune walking and went to the State park campground beach on Silver Lake for an afternoon swim. No pictures of the adventure, must have left the camera in the car


We walked across the street from our hotel to the Sands Restaurant for dinner that evening

And we arrived back at the resort to find a beautiful sunset after dinner

Cara enjoyed playing in the sand and was oblivious to the gorgeous sun setting in front of her



What a beautiful end to a really fun day!
