We had an awesome little 4th of July get-away with the Knopp family. They came for a long weekend and we took a trip up to Indiana/Michigan. We left early Saturday morning and stopped at State Line Blueberries for some blueberry picking. We all had fun and left with a lot of blueberries... and some local honey... and some blueberry lemonade!
Next up, we headed to New Buffalo (one of our favorite Michigan beach towns!). We found a park to have our picnic lunch and then we hit up the local farmer's market.
Next, we did a little exploring and walked down to the beach--we weren't
planning to swim, just wanted our toes in the sand and some of those
awesome Lake Michigan views...

After a little beach time, we did some hiking at Galien River County Park & Wetlands. Its a newer park with some great trails, an awesome look-out tower, and some pretty awesome views. We enjoyed hiking out over the wetlands on a bridge path. We also loved the look out tower!
Our last stop for the day was a highly recommended burger place--Redamaks. The burgers and cheese fries did NOT disappoint and to top it off, we had to try the cheesecake shake! We finished off our day with some hotel swimming and patio time.

Day 2--We started with breakfast at our hotel and then on to Indiana Dunes for a day of beach fun! We did not anticipate the holiday weekend crowd and waited for an hour to enter the park. That was not fun but once we were in, our day was great! The kids swam, played, built sand castles, made some Dude Perfect videos on the sand dunes... it was a perfect day!
We ended our day with a yummy dinner at Portillos. The next day was 4th of July and we were able to meet he Windhams for breakfast before Knopps headed back home.
