The Sun At Last

I was pooped by the time I finished Project Sears. I must've fallen asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, which was around 3.30 am. At 5.30 am the alarm rang, but this time I couldn't press snooze and simply go back to sleep like I had done on countless occasions over the last 2 months. Had I done that, I would've missed the sunrise over Lake Michigan yet again, and I didn't know when (or if) I would get the chance to see it again.

So in the next 10 minutes I was out of my bed and in my car, driving towards Sunrise Beach. This time I followed all the posted detours, and managed to get there at about 6.30 am - well in time for the sunrise.

After parking the car I walked down to the beach and positioned myself on the rocks. The Sun did rise but unfortunately it was a cloudy morning, so the charm just wasn't the same as last year. Nevertheless, I was proud to have caught the Sun; so that I could finally strike-off all the entries in my "To Do in the US" list.
