I decided to document last Friday for today's Friday Favorites post. I hardly ever document a day in the life anymore now that my boys are grown and mostly on their own. But I knew we had a pretty full day and thought it might be fun. These are some of my favorite posts to read and I think I did a pretty great job remembering to document and take pictures for the whole day! 5:00 wake up and I allow myself to blog, read emails, etc. until 5:30 5:30 get up, get dressed for the gym, put away my laundry from the night before, make the bed. 5:45 head downstairs to make Alec's lunch (1/2 way though he came to the balcony to tell me he wasn't going to school since he wasn't feeling well-- he's 18 and allowed to make this call himself). I decided to make a salad, some chicken salad, hard boil some eggs, and cut up all the fruit since we had just done groceries after dinner last night and none of that had been done yet. I emptied, reloaded, and restarted the dishwasher.
My husband and I have a fascination with light houses and have been to most of them in Michigan. What a great little trip!
ReplyDeleteWe have quite a few up and down the New England coast and I decided we really need to try and make an effort to see more of them.
DeleteI see we are neighbors!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I haven't been to Beavertail in such a long time. There really is no excuse as it is only about an hour from us. :-) It truly is such a beautiful place.
Thanks for sharing your unschooling field trip! It brought back nice memories of my homeschooling days. :-)
I had never been before but we will definitely be going back. Funny enough we tend to visit for Wetherill a few times each year and just never realized how close those two places were.
DeleteI love Lighthouses and this one is gorgeous, si is it´s surrounding :)
ReplyDeleteIt really was amazing out on the point like that. My boys loved walking all around on the rocks.
DeleteJoanne, what a great way to spend the day. My hubby and I love going to the historic parks anytime we travel. We've learned so much about our country and heritage xo

ReplyDeleteThank you! We thought the rocks were really neat too.
DeleteOh well, never mind about the museum being shut but what a beautiful day to have a walk about. Well worth while I think whether it shut or not. :) x
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for linking up with us on #ExplorerKids
It was a beautiful day and we really loved the area.
DeleteOh I do love light houses - that one does look like it is in a great place too. #explorerkids
ReplyDeleteI love them too; they're all so uniquely designed.
DeleteWe have a lot of historic lighthouses here in Maine, and we're trying to get to as many as we can.
ReplyDeleteWe have gotten to just a couple of the lighthouses in Maine.
