Weekend getaway

So as the fall continues to ramp up and as we are getting ready to travel lots this schoolyear, we got a nice chance to spend a weekend on Lake Michigan. For someone who spent most of the summer studying for boards (which I passed, btw) it seemed like when I finally got the chance to enjoy it, summer was over. But the view from the house on the lake and the music that was being made care of earphoria artists, a little weekend of no responsibility was nice. Halfway thru our Saturday Carl and I were somewhat baffled at what to even do with ourselves. We road bikes to the pier, sat on the beach and walked on the beach, ate a lot, read a little and hung out with Moose and some Chicagoans.



It's funny how when life is constantly taking you in different directions it sometimes takes a good bit of effort to slow down, but we eventually managed. And Sunday we saw a friend home from Boston.
This past month has been net living in Ann Arbor at my moms and learning from what Carl calls the Hippie Doctor. And starting this weekend we are heading up to TC to live in Carl's aunt and uncle's airstream trailer while rotating at Munson Hospital and trying to imagine what that life would be like. It has given us a real sense of our love for Detroit, being away. Luckily we got to be home for Dally in the Alley...but we will again miss the runners of the Marathon run by on our street this year. Makes me think we should stay in this house till I at least get to do that and cheer them all on! Detroit is one of a kind... Liberal enough to make us feel welcome but not too pompous to make us feel bad about being middle of the road sometimes. Anyway, we love this place.
