    An Afternoon in Harbor Springs

    Hi All and Happy Fall! While Northern Michigan is stunning in the summer, it is equally fabulous in the fall. We recently returned from a trip Up North and I really can’t say this too many times… Northern Michigan is one of the United State’s best kept secrets. We had wonderful, summer-like weather on our long anniversary weekend. Heading up to Petoskey, Bay Harbor and Harbor Springs is the perfect way to wave our sad goodbyes to summer and usher in fall. (Last autumn, we were able to spend a weekend in the same area and I created a guide that you can check out here. )

From the beautiful blues and greens of the water to the quaint towns, Northern Michigan is a must see. Here are some of the places we visited last summer… (If one peaks your interest, just click on the name of the town for a more in-depth and specific Mackinaw Road post on the area.)

    Traverse City Wineries

    “I’d like to do a flight of beer.” This was my husband’s “winery joke” and I have to say, it was a success every time. Humor aside, there are just under 60 wineries in the Traverse City area, so we are slowly adding one or two to our repertoire on each trip. [This post contains affiliate links.]

    What to do in Leland, Michigan

    I recently visited Leland, Michigan. I hadn’t been in years but was excited to visit and join in Leland Gal’s 5 year anniversary. And, honestly, it’s Northern Michigan… you really can’t go wrong up there. The water is a shade all its own and is as clear as can be. There is a very relaxed beach town vibe complimented by good old Midwestern friendliness. [This post contains affiliate links]

    Top 5 Posts of 2016

    Since I love a good countdown and have been seeing quite a few Top 5 Posts of 2016, I thought it might be entertaining (and, admittedly, a bit self-indulgent) to look back, too, especially because I’m grounded until March.
