I am thrilled it’s been in the 80s as it should for an August day…but today will probably be one of our last 90+ degree days. So not only will I count down till I am off work…I am debating on how to spend the afternoon & evening soaking up the sun….

Now granted Milwaukee doesn’t have pretty coordinated umbrellas along the beach….

Or nice teak wooden lounge chairs…

No the water of Lake Michigan doesn’t always smell the best and it surely isn’t turquoise blue…

No our sand isn’t glitter or white…

But being down there with all the boats, hearing the waves crash against the rocks, the people renting jet skis, cabanas and those paddle boats brings me joy. It’s the best time of year here and the best thing about the city in my opinion…

Now I can’t help but wish I owned one of those yachts docked. Since I don’t get in public pools…this would be up my alley…

I didn’t go fishing with my cousins so maybe next year…

My evening would be lovely if I could chill in a hammock…a margarita on deck…

If you ever watched an incoming storm by a big body of water it is the most prettiest thing. I was able to see a lightning show down there. Thunderstorms are the best way to end a summer night.
