South Haven

We went to South Haven, Michigan for family vacation this year. We wanted to go somewhere close by in case I happened to go into early labor. South Haven has a cute downtown area with shops and restaurants that we enjoyed exploring. Our favorite stops were the ice cream shoppe and Clementine's restaurant.

A few blocks from our house there was a great park for kids

We spotted some interesting orange-billed brown geese while lunching at the marina one day. It turns out we aren't the only ones who dislike Canadian geese.

South Haven also had a cute little red lighthouse that we wandered down to see

The house we rented was called Sweet Pea Cottage. It was a very nicely remodeled bungalow with a great screened in porch and back yard only three blocks from the beach. 

One evening we enjoyed a peaceful bonfire in the back yard.

Another night we celebrated Papa's birthday

We also enjoyed strolling down to South Haven beach, which was only a short walk from the house

We also checked out a state park beach a couple miles from town

A sunny day at the beach always seemed to tucker little Wyatt out
