West Michigan
iaian7 » blog John Einselen, 4.08.08
The young adult group at church had a retreat, of sorts, this past weekend on the west coast of Michigan. We got to stay in some great little cottages, hang out at the beach, and stay up late. I even took pictures of the stars over the water! Music, food, games, Bible study, lots of fun.
And may I say? Western Michigan is lovely. Really lovely. Also? I love a rocky coast line. Even if it’s man made, it makes for great rock hopping. A small group of us ventured out to one of the concrete platforms, across the large stones piled along the way. Hilariously, I’d forgotten sunscreen, and spent the last day on the beach in a hooded long sleeve shirt and rolled up jeans. Of course I would have worn my board shorts to the beach, but lets face it, I had boots, not sandals, so jeans seemed to be the only sensible option as I trekked too the beach. I was a fashion travesty, I tell you, but it could have been so much worse! Hopefully next time I’ll remember that beaches require certain items, such as protection from UV (I can burn in under 30 minutes; yes, I’m that Irish) and proper shoe wear (am I to be blamed that I packed for a forest hike? There were plenty of trees around).
