Christmas sunset walk on the beach....in Michigan

[Ottakee]

Today was a balmy 56° and sunny in West Michigan.  Until this week we had seen 2% of available sunshine so more than a few minutes of sun is exciting.   

I took a walk with my SIL, DD and Son in law.  Beautiful hike over looking Lake Michigan and I survived 440+ stairs on the hike.

Then tonight was a sunset walk on the beach.  The surfers....yes, surfers on Christmas day in Michigan, were just coming off the lake.

So tell me you threw on your wetsuit and went out!   I know, after the last few years of freezing through the winter, this unusually warm one has been fun variety.

I'm, nope.  I don't even go in Lake Michigan in August.  It was nice though walking at the beach with my hoodie on.

Now, spring break we might still be skiing but......

Honestly, it seems like winter is coming about 4 weeks later than it did when I was a kid, but also staying 2-4 weeks later in the year

Gorgeous photos and kudos to you for the walk. We just walked the neighborhood and enjoyed the sun.

Which beach were you at?
