No Fool's today

No Fool's today. 

It was beautiful. 

Delicious. 

Quite Tropical if I must say so myself.

We loaded up the car to enjoy a day at the "beach" on our Stay-Cation for Spring Break 2010.  We headed for my favorite place...the Dunes. 

I brought my Doodle Journal, jelly pens and after some hiking plopped down to doodle and journal (to be finished this evening).  Now that is bliss.

Some of the sights and inspiration of the day....

View from one of the mighty sand dunes that I tackled.  It was amazing.  There was a cool breeze coming off Lake Michigan.  The temperature at the beach was a good 20 degrees cooler than inland.  

A day at the beach is well worth the cooler temperatures.

Who doesn't love rock hunting.  And this rock won our hearts!
