Even though I grew up in this area, and even though Matt has lived here for a total of about 6 years now, neither of us had ever been to South Haven until last weekend. We decided we wanted to get away for our 5th anniversary, but since we were leaving Kate overnight for the first time, we didn't want to go too far. South Haven turned out to be the perfect place.
We dropped Kate off at my parent's house on Saturday afternoon and got her down for a nap before we took off. Once we got to South Haven, we spent a few hours walking around town, in and out of shops, got ice cream, and then checked into our Bed & Breakfast. We tried to go to dinner at an Italian restaurant downtown around 6:00, but they were booked until after 8:00, so we thought we'd go somewhere else. Well, everywhere else had long waits too, so we decided to make a reservation at our first choice restaurant for after dark and walk out to the pier for the sunset.
Everything worked out perfectly because it was pretty much the most beautiful sunset ever. Incredibly colors and not a cloud in the sky. Does it get any better than this?
We had an amazing dinner at Tello, then headed back to the B&B for the night. Sunday morning, we had a really good breakfast and then walked a few miles on the beach before heading home.
Thank you to my mom and dad for hanging out with Kate for her first overnight! Leaving her for the night turned out to be easier than I thought it would be, and seeing her excitement when we got back was priceless!
