Fashion catastrophe averted

Yesterday, Tim and I decided to take a walk. Just after he went to change his shoes, I followed him into the same room and this is what I saw:



Internet, you will have to look past the yellow pants. He loves those pants and they are not up for debate. It's the pants and the shoes together that I took issue with. Once I calmly explained that not I or anyone else would be seen in public with that fashion faux pas, he changed his shoes. Just to shut me up.

I'm pretty sure he still thinks this is a good fashion choice.

A great weekend getaway

I don't know about you, but I'm such an Eastsider that traveling west of the Lodge is a real experience for me. I actually feel like I'm in another state.

So, to travel to the west side of the state this weekend for a wedding was quite an experience for me. And it was one I'd gladly do again. Although it was a bit tricky for me to navigate. I'm used to a lake being east. Having a lake mark west really threw me off.

If you ever have a chance, you should check it out. There's great wine tasting. St. Joseph has a charming little downtown area on Lake Michigan. And, perhaps the best part, there was excellent CHOCOLATE TASTING! Have mercy! The Chocolate Garden, Tabor Hill and the Chocolate Cafe were little bits of heaven on earth.



This was one of the wineries we visited that didn't have chocolate. But it had vodka and a dog named Dudley, so it was pretty cool anyway.
