   Back From Vacation
Tuesday, July 18

Started early and helped dad on our trip to South Haven, MI. Saw Al Capone's home (it has a tin roof on one of the structures. We got a little lost on the way but got directions to South Haven and made it the rest of the way, thanks be to God. Now that we're at the Hampton Inn, I remember exactly why I love it so much here...it's so tranquil ! Once settled in, we decided we wanted Italian food for dinner. We went to eat at a magnificent Italian restaurant called Tellos (their meatballs were even better than Buca's if that's possible). Dad and I dropped mom off at the hotel and stopped over at Sherman's Dairy to get some ice cream. We were lucky enough to see a 10 classic car parade. Everything from muscle cars to the gorgeous Corvair (even a HEARSE) were there. I also was introduced to the flowering Japanese maple tree. It is much like a Hibiscus.

Like last night, we went to see the Lake, but first we stopped at Ward's shop, Biddy Murphy's. Ate at Clementines (exceptional food, I highly recommend it), got a new South Haven shirt and a replica of the South Haven lighthouse at the local drugstore as well as a really beautiful lighthouse ornament. Returned to the motel to cool down and watch DS9. I was able to finish the Second Summer of the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. It was a stupendous read. I can't wait to begin the third book as soon as I can. In fact, I did begin the third and supposedly final book in Brashare's series. Even if she doesn't write another book, I still think she's a fabulous writer. We wanted to eat something for dinner but were rather full from Clementine's so we decided to eat at Big Boy. While waiting for our food, there was a human lookalike of Chick Hicks (I kid you not) who was doing a spread eagle to get his food and avoid hitting the sneeze guard at the buffet. He noticed me watching and gave me a "like what you see" sort of look. I rolled my eyes. We filled the tank at Wal-Mart and returned to the hotel. I swam after watching Wheel and Jeopardy. Didn't stay long because the water was a little warm.

Saw the lake one last time before going to sleep last night. Woke up and had a terrific breakfast before heading out for home. Made absolutely sure everything was packed before we left Hamilton Inn. Made one last stop at the Kokomo Red Lobster before returning home.
