Next on the list to visit while back home was the beach. This is an obvious choice for us western Michiganders, but people who haven't been to Michigan often tell me, "But, that's a lake. That's not a beach." IT'S A FREAKING BEACH, PEOPLE. An awesome, awesome beach. I happen to live between two public beaches in Holland, the Holland State Park, and Tunnel Park. Here's some photos of Holland State Park:
Many people take wedding photos or senior pictures here, and as you can see based on the following picture, I'm well on my way to the path of professional beach photographer.
Besides my home town of Holland, I was also able to go to the Grand Haven beach (a nearby city) for the Coast Guard Festival, a ten-day event honoring the Coast Guard with parades, carnival rides, and fireworks.
The beach is overly crowded, but it's worth a wander for the carny food.
Nothing says 'Murica more than deep fried diabetes.
My night at the Coast Guard Festival finished up with a perfectly-timed jump picture in the sunset where my friend Krystal and I missed the high-five. Typical.
