A long summer weekend in Grand Haven, staying at the cutest family cottage, spending plenty of time at the beach, trying my hand at surfing, and checking out the Great Lakes Surf Festival in Muskegon! We cooked in, grabbed drinks and food downtown, wandered around some old favorite spots, and soaked up cottage life. It was my first real weekend back in Grand Haven in 14 years, and such a fun, full-circle little getaway. ❤️

I love tradition, love seasonal activities, and this just checks the box in terms of… filling up my heart and soul cup! But yeah, beautiful as always, magical AF, what a dreamy location.

It was transformed from a vacant lot, and has a little replica of the famous Japanese bridge from Giverny, painted in its signature color. An adorable spot to check out the fish pond, sit on a bench or take some photos!
