Macation.

Simone was so excited before our trip that she let everyone know at school that she was going on "macation".  This summer's macation took us to Osthoff Resort in Elkhart Lake, WI.  http://www.osthoff.com/  We travelled with the Vogel family whose kids, Jack and Stella, are the same ages as Cullen and Simone.  So, as you can imagine, we are very compatible travelling companions.  

Osthoff's was awesome.  There was so much to do:  3 pools, a sandy beach in a spring-fed lake, golf, art classes for kids, smores by bonfire, a park, a lakefront bar, paddleboards, paddleboats and fishing (just to name a few).  We were also able to line up babysitters (thanks to a connection of Dennis) for an adult night out.  We may have been over-served at the local tiki bar, but sometimes that happens!  It was just awesome to go to a place where a 3 year-old and a 30-something can have an equally enjoyable time.
