Ah! My favorite time of the year is here.
After celebrating my birthday in April, I took a break from vacation for the month of May and wait until this trip. To kick off my Summer outings, we decided to head to Grand Haven to enjoy some Sun, sand, beach, water, and a lighthouse.
The group included Manju, Bhaskar, Rohan, Monika, Anupam, Aryan, Arnav, and myself. For the occasion, I was wearing my black T-shirt with the words “Sexy Boy” inked in Hindi. The plan was to leave home early and have some breakfast on the way to the destination. We left early to make sure we reach by the mid afternoon as we wanted to hike a little bit before soaking ourselves in the water and enjoy some lazy late afternoon walks by the lighthouse.
As soon as we reached the location, we checked for a permit. We spent a good 10 minutes, looking for a spot to get a permit, but it turned out, we didn’t need one. After this initial hiccup, most of us were hungry, so we gobbled on some Golgappas before starting our hike. The state park had a beach, but it wasn’t close to the parking & we had to hike a little bit to get to it.
The hike was not a long one and while chit chatting and making fun of each other. The more fun part of the day after the hike was over and we finally got to the water and near the lighthouse. The spot was pretty crowded as is the case every year for Michigan beaches. I was stunned to find out the cleanliness at the beach and so many things people were doing on the beaches. I was mentally keeping notes of all the things that I can do in future, as I know I will be staying in Michigan for times to come.
We spent the afternoon clicking pictures, playing in the sand and water and taking countless strolls through the lighthouse area.
I think we left at around 6PM & had dinner on our way back home. It was a good day. It was an awesome way to kick off the Michigan Summer.
Next stop: 10K at Canton Liberty Run, Canton, MI, USA.
