Michigan City for Sandi's family's vacation

Sandi asked me to join her family at their family vacation in Michigan City Indiana.   She rents a large house in a resort community near the beach.   This is their family's second trip to this resort; it is within driving distance to everyone.

I flew out on Saturday June 27th.  The trip was straightforward; I flew to Chicago Midway and took an airport bus to Michigan City.

On Sunday Sandi and I went to the local Polish church; the services were in English, although I noticed that they did have some mass books in Polish.   We figured that it was an eight hundred seat church, with perhaps two hundred people at mass.  In the evening we walked on the beach about two miles to the lighthouse; we walked back on the road.

On Tuesday we went to the beach in the afternoon.   I swam out into Lake Michigan until I was over my head, and swam back.  It was a bit cold.

There are six adults and five kids in the house.   The adults include Sandi's two girls, and their husbands.   The five kids included three boys, each one year old!  Two of the boys are identical twins.  Needless to say the house was a bit noisy, with toys scattered everywhere.      The two men kept trying to fish, but without a lot of luck.  I decided not to fish.

On Wednesday morning we walked more than two miles on the beach in the opposite direction.  We saw lots of mansions on the beach.  We walked back on the road.

On Thursday I flew home, uneventfully.  The family stayed one more day, and drove home on Friday.
