Family Fun

This is where we have been this week, I have been wanting to check this place out every since I heard about it last yr, and Im so glad that we did b/c this place is AMAZING
If your like me and are obsessed with the beach than this is the place to go. Indiana Dunes national lakeshore, who knew this place would be so beautiful and only 3 hrs away! Its 15 miles of lake michigan shore. There were times that I felt I was at on ocean. The water is blue, you can see about 5 ft down its so clear and one beach we went to the waves were amazing..who knew all this time we have lived in the blah midwest that we have an amazing place to go to its really a pretty place and would reccomend it to anyone, and for only 3hrs away whats not to loose. We are campers so we camped it but they have B&Bs, hotels, resorts, beach cottages for those who need a bit more :) I'm going to have fun scrappin these pics!

Look who made the cover

Who would of thought one of my layouts would end up on the cover of a magazine....crazy how things work out. Now if it would hurry up and get to the stores so I can get my hands on it :)
