take me to the beach

If you live in Michigan like I do, you've probably seen those "Pure Michigan" commercials. Every time I see them I think "Uh, I dunno where in Michigan that is, cause the only Michigan I know is weeds for grass, bipolar weather and road construction."

Up North, people. That's where it is.
I went camping up by Lake Michigan with my family a few weeks ago. And when I say by, I mean on.


I took this picture from the picnic table.

Yeah buddy.

Seriously though, this is a pretty apt description of how I feel about that beach.

You better believe I instagramed the heck outta that place!

The Fantastic Four, minus Conner (aka Snuggly Buggly)

The Tardis, people. The TARDIS. 

Why so serious?



The end of a long day at Tahquamenon Falls.

This Bald Eagle was perched WAAAAAAAY up high...only my bazooka lens could reach it.

Swimming in Le Lake Michigan

I present to you, the O'Brien weirdos.

Before you start thinking "Wow, the OBriens love eachother enough to hold hands!" You should know that we were just posing for the picture ;)


GEESE!!!! This picture was taken about ten seconds before a bunch of German dudes asked me to take their picture for them. That's right, German dudes. I can check that one off the bucket list.

The Mighty Mac

Havin' a nice ol' lunch on the patio at The Tea Room (Macinac Island)


That moment you realize your Mama isn't in any of the pictures because she was the one behind the camera...



There you go, Mama. 

Have a great day!
