Visiting Michigan

everyday life, travel 1 Minute

Over the weekend, I was at the beach house of my son-in-law’s family. His mother was trying to organize this trip for a very long time, and each time, something didn’t work. We finally made it, and I was also able to convince my mom to go. The weather was absolutely perfect- very warm and sunny, but not too hot. There is a real forest surrounding the house, and the water is as clean as it can be. Of course, that also meant more time with Anna, John, and the girls.

My son-in-law found a mantis
Not sure how this device is called
Same as in other places, Lake Michigan is rising, overtaking the beach

And being on the opposite side of the lake, we could watch a sunset.

Next morning

Mom and I took the South Shore Line to Michigan City, and Amtrak on the way back. If the schedule (or mom) would be more cooperative we would take Amtrak both ways!

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.

  2. Oh, that’s because I was using the pics from Igor’s album! I just created a sharable copy, but it will take me some time to replace everything. You should see more now, but I will let you know when I replace all of them!
