I've always loved this old postcard. I love that it advertises Illinois as being the perfect place for a vacation... after the blizzard of 2011 and a winter that has extended far into the spring, I'm not exactly convinced. But now that it's starting to get warm, I suppose I can start to believe it again, since the past 6 months have been pretty wet, cold and inhospitable.
Thankfully however, the sun is now shining, the flowers are blooming and beautiful lake michigan is blue once again! With the return of spring, Justin and I have been hard at work trying to get our second bedroom in order to welcome good friends for fun summer vists. Our first reservation is for this weekend; our good friends Brooke & Steve are coming to town!! ...And just in time for the unveiling of our guest room! (Actually, they were a major source of motivation to get it done... ) Aren't they awesome friends!?! =)
Here's a few photos of our newly completed room. Enjoy and see you this summer!
