Pokagon State Park

Yesterday, I took most of the day off and we drove about 45 minutes north of our house to Angola, Indiana, to Pokagon State Park. When we got there, we spent a few minutes at a little playground, had a picnic lunch of peanut butter and honey sandwiches, then rented a couple of bicycles to go with the three that we had put in the back of the truck and went for a little bike ride.




After that, we headed for the main destination, Lake James. It's no Hilton Head or St. Pete Beach but we had a nice time there and I did my customary warm water activity of just sitting or standing out in the water and letting the tides bounce me up and down.


We were a little surprised that playing in the sand was a more attractive activity than the water itself . . .

Before we left, Jordan insisted on trying out the camera underwater. One small detail he forgot about: He doesn't like opening his eyes underwater.
