It was a sunny Saturday in the high 60's, a perfect day to enjoy walking along the shore of Lake Michigan in Michigan City's famous Washington Park. A six dollar parking fee seemed well worth it once we stepped on the beach. The lighthouse was about two block away - down a long breakwater - and you can walk all the way out and around it.

After the lighthouse, we enjoyed walking along the shore. The water was frigid, but splashing along wasn't so bad. The beach seems to be a few miles long and is pretty wide and has several tall sand dunes with "seagrass" blocking a lot of the housing and industry from view.

I made many trips here to Michigan City indiana during the 1990's.
I took many walks on this causeway to the lighthouse.
I can remember taking Bill ,Janice and her son Steven on outings here.

We loved spending time on the lakefront in Michigan City.
I hope to go there this year.

Thank You.
Eddie.
