Sunday Morning in Ludington

After a bright and beautiful Saturday spent mostly in the car, I was looking forward to a similarly pleasant day Sunday. Alas, overcast skies and distant rumbling thunder greeted me when I ventured out after breakfast. 

Ludington House was built in 1878 by Canadian lumber baron, Antoine Cartier (pronounced here as car-TEER). The current owners, Bob and Ellen, were friendly and hospitable, and served up a tasty breakfast of apple pecan French toast and yogurt with fresh blueberries and homemade granola. The house is lovely and the guest rooms are well-appointed. I stayed in one of the smallest rooms, #8, on the third floor. I highly recommended it! 

        

        

   

        

 

A walk on the pier to the lighthouse was top of my list for Sunday and the experience didn't disappoint.  The wind kicked up the further out I went, and provided just enough wave action to be exciting without being scary. The seagulls checked me out for a while and stayed a polite distance away. Since I continued to hear thunder and saw the western sky steadily grow darker as a storm came in over the lake, I didn't stay out very long!

Thanks, flock of birds! Couldn't have planned this better if I tried.
