Had a great week off with the family. 2 thumbs up for Michigan Adventure's Amusement Park. It's just the right size to tackle in a day.
The highlight for me was right as the park was closing Jacob (8) and I ran to get on one of the big wooden coasters. There were a few people waiting in the queue ... and we decided to hold out for the very front. In the end we were the only 2 remaining ... the prior coaster was full or they would have bumped us to different seats. So Jacob and I sat in the front two seats and got to ride it all by ourselves. That was a pretty special way to end the day.
We also spent a good deal of time where Duck Lake feeds into Lake Michigan. Great beaches and the outlet from Duck Lake is nice and shallow and warm so kids can play without parents worrying about them.
Our hotel ended up having wifi access so I did at least check email after the rest had gone to sleep though I responded to very very little. I also worked on a couple blog posts that will appear over the coming days. It was a good break ... but I'm ready to re-engage again. This time though I'm going to really work on finding a better balance between work and family.
