We have truly found a family favorite place to vacation. The Blue Harbor Resort in Sheboygan, Wisconsin is above and beyond my favorite place in the world.
I look at these pictures, and I smile. My shoulders melt, I breathe a little deeper, and I'm suddenly rejuvenated again. I can't think of anywhere else that evokes that kind of physical response.
Even being pregnant and not able to enjoy water slides, I loved seeing the girls have fun at the water park.
When you are having this kind of true vacation, you let your kids stay up late and have their own gigantic ice cream sandwich. You do this because you are in such a good mood that you can take on any meltdowns they might have from being overly tired and overly sugared.
We didn't have to do any work to go to the beach there -- the resort has towels, sand toys, a shower to clean up and a maid to vacuum sand from the room.
The sunsets are impressive, and walks are dreamy -- whether it be in the morning or evening because of the eye candy all around.
Others organize activities for your children to participate in, and provide the supplies (and did I mention clean up?).
We stayed in two rooms because we wanted the kids to experience the "Aquarium Room."
The girls have always wanted to sleep in bunk beds, and they finally got their chance!
When we first arrived at the hotel, the kids were beyond excited! They remember it from last year, and they love it as much as we do. They have talked about it through the year numerous times.
They enjoyed a break from the water when they entered the "Kids Club Room" to color a picture for the coloring contest and play a little.
The only disappointment this year was the waves were flat. We found out the waves on Lake Michigan are unpredictable and have a lot to do with weather patterns and wind direction.
We are already talking about the next trip. Anyone want to join us? I think I should get paid for doing an advertisement for the resort! In all of our travels, twice now, this has definitely been our most relaxing, most fun family vacation. With such a whirlwind summer, I'm so grateful we were able to squeeze this trip in because I think we all came home closer as a family, happy, and refreshed!
