Grand Beach, summer style

Our Birthday Club celebration was held at Carol's place in Grand Beach. I loved seeing GB in the summer. It was the first time for that for me, after 15 years plus of our winter sleepovers there. Most of the crew went up on Tuesday morning, but Jean, Mary B and I couldn't leave til 1 pm Chicago time. I did a team eval at work from 10:30 til 12:30, then picked up Jean and Mary. We were on the lake Michigan beach by 3 Chicago time. It was so relaxing, reading magazines and enjoying appetizers and beverages and each other's company. We headed up to the house for a delicious dinner prepared by Carol and Jean. The next morning we went for a long walk, then went back down to the beach for a few hours before heading back to reality. I was gone just over 24 hours, but it felt like a true vacation. So blessed!
