Just the thought of summer brings a smile to my face after our long, blizzard filled winter here in Boston. For me, the idea of long summer days under a big warm sun conjures one thing: swimming.
I'm originally from Michigan. Now, as a Bostonian, I'm getting use to the ocean way of things. But, the blond, sandy beaches of South Haven were where I spent many summer hours growing up.
And, I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking about dreamy swimming holes. So, let us know.
