I am SO excited to share my latest giveaway with you all! I just love giving things to my friends and what better to share than a weekend trip with dinner, lodging and entertainment! I am excited for YOU!

Recently my family and I had the pleasure of visiting The Indiana Dunes area near Chesterton, Indiana.  It was a dream trip. No shopping, no tourist traps, just fun in the sun and playing on the beautiful beaches of Lake Michigan.  Read more about our trip, and where YOU can go too HERE.

Please read my POST about our trip so you can see all of the pictures I took....This is where YOU will be going too :)
