Our trip to Muskegon



Hello all!  I am getting down to crunch time with school... less than a month to go!!
Chad and I went up to Muskegon this past weekend to met with a realtor and look at houses.  We had been looking online for a few weeks and had a pretty good list of places to see, but after 2 full days of looking (at probably 30-40 houses!) we still have not found a good fit for us.  What are we going to do??!!??  Yes, I have been getting a little bit of anxiety thinking that we will be "homeless", but we will figure something out.
We did make some time to take a few pictures of the area...
Here I am in front of the culinary school sitting on a bench with Mr. Hackley (more about him in a bit)


Here are some pictures of Muskegon Lake from the downtown area...






Then, before we left to come back to Shreveport, we did a tour of the Hackley and Hume homes (this will be a MUST for any visitors!)  For any history buffs, click the link below to get some information about these two...


And, here are some pictures of their restored homes.
