    Mackinaw Road: The Quarterly 03

    November 18, 2024 /

    What a beautiful autumn we had here in Michigan! We spent a lot of time outside jogging, fishing, walking to get coffee, etc, etc. The leaves (and the sky) really showed off their colors and the warmer weather was amazing. With the sunrises arriving at a more considerate hour of the morning, I caught some of those as well. We didn’t have any big projects, but it was nice to settle in, organize and spruce up a bit, enjoy some good books and shows, and start some holiday shopping.

    Island Travel Interviews- Caribbean Islands, Take 8 (Aruba)

    January 25, 2018 /

    **This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! Aruba. How I love Aruba. It’s been awhile since we’ve been but I’m quite certain I would still love Aruba. Just off the coast of Venezuela, this Dutch Island had the warmest of breezes and seas when we visited. I’m excited to compare experiences as Megan from Some Places I Am Moderately Excited About shares a more current view of the A of the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao).  Name and Blog Name/URL I’m Megan, of Some Places I Am Moderately Excited About!

    Traverse City Wineries

    September 25, 2017 /

    “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.]
