We celebrated Kevin's 30th birthday in San Francisco. For mine, I wanted to be able to spend time with lots of family, so we rented a cottage in Union Pier, Michigan for a week. (As fun as it's all been, I think our finances are ready for a non-milestone birthday year.)
It was a true vacation. (Except that we both worked a little - Kevin even went into the city two days.) We didn't rush around, and cloudy weather gave us a great excuse to sleep in and do a whole lot of nothing. Just lots of relaxing, bike rides and runs, some fun dinners at Brewster's, Timothy's, and the Red Arrow Roadhouse, a Sunday barbecue with family, and some overnights with friends and siblings throughout the week.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from the week.

| Kevin's dad took this picture of the two of us at the beach. |

| The Whistle Stop Grocery. My mom gave me a gift card to spend here, so I bought a vanilla candle to take home as a souvenir. (Also, I had to get some of their amazing coffee while I was there, of course.) |

| Breakfast on the beach. |
 |
| Campfire on the beach! My favorite night. |
 |
| My cocktail at Journeyman Distillery - rye, lemon, and simple syrup. We also went wine tasting at Round Barn Winery. |
 |
| It's not vacation without lots and lot of ice cream. |
 |
| I made multiple trips to David's in New Buffalo. This particular stop was with my mom after walking from Union Pier to New Buffalo on the beach. We sat on their back patio where they have a ping pong table and lots of seats in the shade. |
