Kevin had a rare Friday day off so we racked our brains to think of the best way to spend an inexpensive summer day. As we pondered the different ideas...beach, movie rental, children's museum, fishing in the park.... we remembered Grand Haven ( a beachside town 20 miles north of us) was celebrating Coast Guard days, so we lathered on the sunblock, threw the kids in the car, and we were off for what turned out to be a pretty great day.
We admired the rides from a distance (inexpensive was the key to today's journey.... as much as this broke Jordan's heart Kevin and I weren't going to budge), we walked along the boardwalk, and shopped (minus the purchasing part) at the craft fair. By far the coolest part of the day was touring the Coast Guard ships. We got an upfront tour of the Coast Guard living quarters, mess hall, engine rooms, different decks, GPS monitoring stations, and the kids got to "steer" the ship. It was a great way to spend a day, and we ended up keeping it fairly cheap...2 diet cokes and 3 snow cones was all it took for a full afternoon of entertainment. You can't beat that!

I need to get better at this...we just got back from camping...and then today we went out and bought a grill...hummm...our ventures always end up costing us. I was just checking into the city of commerce stuff to see what we can do for cheap around here.
