Bike-/Visit-/Camp-/Sightsee-...ing

I've wanted to post about the June 6th-9th weekend for a while, but I didn't have many fun photos despite all the fun that was had. So, these are compiled (stolen) from Tyler, Jan, Adam, and Steph.

Jan, Adam, and Steph were going to meet us at the Weko Beach Campground, just north of the Michigan Dunes. Tyler and I biked there from South Bend (and back the next day):




This next picture is the only one that's mine. I think it captures the feel of the campground as Jan, Adam, and Steph arrived.




On the other hand, this next picture is just plain better. Bikes and camping hammocks!




We made a campfire and neighborly campers gave use s'more supplies.







The following morning, Jan tested the hammock and agreed that it had superior qualities of general comfort.




Then, we went to the dunes.





We tried rolling down the dunes. I wasn't very good at it.


(Above: Not me rolling. Due to my inferior rolling skills, I don't feature in the action shot.)

While Tyler and I were riding back to South Bend, the others made an architecturally impressive sandcastle.


The day after that, we all went to Chicago, where we witnessed some standard tourist attractions...



...and some not so standard ones:




Those were all pictures of some Frank Lloyd Wright interior design work.

We also hung out in the Signature Lounge at the top of the Hancock building.


Before some of us headed back to South Bend and beyond, we had a big dinner at Tyler's apartment. Much gratitude for all those that made any effort towards making these couple of days possible.

(I don't have a picture of the dinner at Tyler's, but I do have this picture of the dining table that we ate it on. Tyler made it. I helped a little.)
