It was another early morning.
We stopped at the southernmost point of Lake Michigan, at Indiana Dunes State Park.
The colors were not capture-able. It looked like pictures of Cancun, the water was striped teal and aqua and deep blue.
Hot coffee made us all happier.
Mary and Martin and Irma and Brian and Mama and Lala went for a long (9 mile) walk on the dunes. There were factories on either side of the beach that you could see in the distance. The water was cold, but inviting, however swimming was prohibited anyways.

In the distance we could see Chicago, but only if I really cooked (read: digitally enhanced) the picture could you make out the outline of the city on the horizon.
We were worried about Chicago traffic to John's house, so we left early afternoon after an amazing onion pancake lunch cooked in a frying pan over a propane stove. The enormous crowd of beach goers were jealous.
The trick we learned: Arrive at beaches before life-guarding times. They are void of crowds, and the early morning light is just amazing.
