The lake itself holds gorgeous shades of blue with waves breaking white onto the smooth, tiny stone beach. Past the layer of rock was soft light sand that continue all the way to the top of the dunes. The views from the top are beautiful and only from the very top was a glimpse of Chicago's skyscrapers in the far distance.
We spent time relaxing at the top before running, rolling and sliding down the large dunes.
We dined at Greenbush which was an impressive brewery with delicious food and (the most exciting part) a LEGO table!
Why have I never seen this in a restaurant before? It's pure genius!
With full bellies we returned to the beach to watch the sunset while the kids threw rocks. The sky turned the most amazing shades of pink before the sun finally dipped into the water.
My parents traveled a lot when Nadine and I were young. We traveled from Portland, OR to Pennsylvania 3 times. I saw Old Faithful, Mount Rushmore, and much much more. Have tons of pics and I will NEVER forget it. Keep traveling and these children will grow up to appreciate so much!
