We went to one of our favorite places that's close by, St. Joseph, Michigan, for 3 days again this year. We also went to the beach to cool off, especially with the temperatures reaching close to 100 this whole week. We stopped by to see the Lighthouse and the sights in town. This year we got to enjoy the Venetian Night Festival there. A small disappoinment was that the "Bears on the Beach" that were decorated for this year were put into storage. Too much damage was done last year to the decorated carousel horses during the Festival. We'll have to spend a day walking around downtown St. Joseph to see the Bears when we go back in August.
