been on vacation for the week at my family's house in michigan. it is a place i try to visit every year and have gone there since i was young.
this was our first real vacation together and i was so excited for it. on the day we were leaving to come home, we stopped at my favorite beach one last time to see lake michigan. there was no one on the beach (except 200 seagulls) and it was so nice to hear the small waves breaking against the sand.
i stood there for a bit being sad that we were leaving and heading home. i said, "okay, we better get going,"
