Second Saugatuck Trip

I just returned from Saugatuck, MI with Shannon and the boys. Shannon's folks rent a nice cabin up there twice a year and invite us up to spend some time. They took the boys last weekend and Shannon and I had a few rare days of one on one grown up time. We missed the boys dearly but it was a very nice break. Thursday we drove up and spent three nights in Michican resting and relaxing.

Our youngest (6yrs) cried when we arrived. It was all for attention, he wasn't really upset. Shortly thereafter he was smiling and telling me they were tears of joy. My middle son (7yrs) said it was good we came up because he couldn't remember what I looked like. My eldest son (13) had some stomach woes and was a bit subdued at first, but we got to take a boat cruise together before the visit was done for some quality father son time together.

Following are pictures from the boat cruise, "The Star of Saugatuck" and from around the town. If you have access to my flicker account loads of additional photos will be posted shortly.

Saugatuck, MI

I took a trip with my family and in-laws to Saugatuck, MI last weekend. We go up almost every year. My wife's family has been making the annual trip since she was a little girl. My three young boys enjoy time at the beach and in the water. The town has great restaurants and many small shops. Large boats almost completely fill the docks at the edge of the water.

There is a web cam of Saugatuck that updates daily here.


I grabbed today's web cam picture because it represents the town very well.

In addition to the web cam there is great virtual tour of Saugatuck available here. Click on the shopping bag icons to bring up the 360 degree camera views. I particularly like the view of water street near the southwest part of the map.
