This awesome spring weather has meant bare feet appearing, shorts coming out, rosy sun touched cheeks, a filthy bathtub, sound sleepers. Being in the land of lakes, we have been planning trips to the beach throughout the winter. We couldn't wait any longer- high of 18- meant first official beach trip of the year was first on the agenda. The wind was cool, there were still some ice flows- but it was glorious to sink our toes into the sand.
