Rest of the day on Friday….Ludington!

Hi again! Once we checked into the hotel and ‘freshened’ up a bit, we decided to take a trip to Ludington….just a few miles up the road. As we drove through the cute little town we were hunting for the lakefront. There it is: a gorgeous city park with a great beach, pier and lighthouse! Then we see the sign to Ludington State Park and thought we’d like to take a look……up the road we went and then we find out we have to pay to get into the park. And we are sooooo cheap we couldn’t bring ourselves to cough up the $10 when we could go to the City Park for free and see the same sunset on the same Lake Michigan!! We turned around at the park entrance and headed back to Ludington……..lovely dunes along the way!! We got dinner at a restaurant in town (mediocre at best) and then drove around town looking at the cool houses and great yards and finally ended up sitting on the beach (in our lawn chairs) just watching everyone. There was a great deal going on, volleyball, holes being dug in the sand, little kids playing, and this:
I don't know what you call it, but it looks like fun!
He flew over several times before finally landing on the beach.
As the evening wore on Rick and I took a walk along the edge, enough to get kind of damp (me more than Rick). I had told him several days before we went that I’d be happy if all we did was walk on the beach and watch the sunset over the lake. The weather was cool (some even wore jackets) and the lake was sooooo very beautiful!
The pier and lighthouse
Gorgeous or what??!!
Sunset over Lake Michigan
Okay, enough already!!
Then it was time to venture back to Pentwater and the motel, but it was also time for the ‘drive-bys’ who also wanted to see the sunset over Lake Michigan but didn’t want to sit and wait for it. It was hard to back out of our parking spot, but we made it and then as we were driving to Pentwater the Full Moon was Risin’ and it was beautiful too!
Full Moon in Ludington!
