Saugatuck-ered out

We enjoyed a nice long weekend in Saugatuck, Michigan (www.saugatuck.com) last week with the Dejuras family. We rented a cozy home a couple blocks from downtown that was just perfect for chilling out and exploring Michigan's art coast. Thanks to the Dejuras' for a perfect trip. We can't wait until next year when Aidan will be tearing up the beach with the Lagman kids. The highlights of our trip were BACON, the Footloose cottage, downtown Saugatuck, the Duck boat, Oval beach, Grilling every night, fun with the kids, Men's pictionary champs, Kilwins, More BACON, Landsharks, breakfast by the boys, creaky stairs, hanging with great friends (yeah you too Katie) and 2 patios!!
