Sunday was a beautiful day, so we thought we'd get our bikes out and enjoy the weather. Chicago was hosting the Air & Water show which was expecting to bring a couple million people to the lake front. Wanting to avoid the crowds we decided to head for Indiana....only this time we stayed away from Gary! As I was making lunch Jason went down to our storage locker to grab his bike. He came back shortly after leaving to show me our lock...very nicely cut with bolt cutters and his mountain bike missing..what a lovely surprise!!
We had called security the night before because we saw someone using bolt cutters on the outside bike racks, and then on Monday security found them in the grass next to another bike rack. It seems as if bikes are a hot item these days!
We decided to head to Indiana sans bikes and just enjoy the beach.
We stopped by McDonalds for their cheap iced coffees which were huge!!
We had heard great things about the Dunes State Park and wanted to investigate for ourselves.
The idea of leaving Chicago crowds behind didn't work out so well as the beach was much more crowded than our own! We discovered that the sand is soo much nicer and the water quite a bit warmer than ours so the trip was deemed a success.
We climbed to the top of the sand dunes and Jason decided to roll down the dunes.
All in all it was a very relaxing afternoon and we stayed until shortly before sunset.

har har har! The best part of this post is when Jason biffs it after rolling down the hill. That doesn't look like a good place for another certain someone we know, either!!!
Love you!
