Pokagon Trip 1

So, I didn't quite say as much as I'd originally planned on doing yesterday on this blog, but I can still do so.

One of the first things we did was go to a nearby Target with a Starbucks in it, and I used a gift card I had won a while back to get starbucks for my family.  Can I just say that if I could recommend the Java Chip Frappe to anyone, it would be...anyone.  That may be the best thing I've ever gotten from a coffee shop (although, I have to admit that I rarely ever go to coffee shops).

After that, we drove for a while because our part of town was becoming rather busy, and we went to a Kroger and got some snacks and such.  After that, we headed straight to Pokagon State Park.  The car ride was not boring, either.  It was fun just spending time with my family for one thing.  We also saw some interesting things, such as a huge truck pulling just a small scooter.


Soon after, we had arrived at Pokagon.  After getting some information, we drove on to the parking lot near the beach and stopped at a nearby picnic table to eat some lunch.

That's right, a sandwich that just looks absolutely amazing in macro.

After this, we spent the rest of the time at Pokagon relaxing.

When we got there, there were a bunch of sand sculptures.  I'm not sure where they came from, but they were pretty cool.

Someone sculpted a sea serpent!

We rented a small paddle boat and floated around for a while

I don't know how bad of an idea it was to bring my camera onto the boat, but I did it anyway.  This boat was kinda cool so I snapped it.

Here's a panoramic I took from the BOAT.

 We plan on returning soon, we found that Pokagon is a very nice and cheap getaway.
