The Irishman’s Worst Nightmare. Yes folks. What you fear is true. This is a Guinness in a margarita glass. I was being adventurous or foolish (take your pick) when I decided to order one at the Ball Joint in Battle Creek just to see what kind of pour I got. Absolutely horrifying.

Other than that unfortunate incident, we had a great weekend in Michigan a few weeks ago. Nathan discovered grass (that isn’t considered a weed *cough, cough* bermuda), birds, and airplanes.

We finally got the chance to do something other than pack, fix up the house, and travel last weekend. As I mentioned previously, we felt it would be risky (especially with a child) to drive to Mt. St. Helens just to see what the country’s most active volcano was doing so we explored Sauvie Island instead. Our original plan was to hike to the lighthouse at the tip of the island but we found trail closures due to hunting season so we hiked as far as we could on the beach before it got extremely boggy. It was a beautiful day and the perfect vantage point in case the volcano decided to unleash some pyrotechnics.
