North Bound

Steve and I made our 2nd trip to Michigan.  We stopped at the small town of South Haven when we arrived in Michigan to eat supper.  Bad idea.  It was Saturday.  It was 4th of July weekend.  And everyone that lives in Chicago apparently comes to Michigan to vacation.  The wait time at almost all restaurants was 90 minutes.  Bye Bye South Haven.  Hello, Quiznos!  The next day we drove to Traverse City.  Guess what?  They were having a Cherry Festival.  We put on our good attitudes and decided we would enjoy the chaos.  After we found a spot to park, we walked along a trail next to the river.  Beautiful.  When we came up on the street  we found this restaurant to eat lunch.  It was delicious.  The weather was wonderful.  What more could we ask for?


Maybe some cherry pie at the Grand Traverse Pie Company.

And how about adding in an air show?

After we had our fill of the festival we drove to Charlevoix.


Charlevoix is between Lake Michigan


and Round Lake which then flows into Charlevoix Lake.

Steve thought he would stick his toes in Lake Michigan.  It apparently was a little cold.

The town has these houses that they call Mushroom houses.  I would love to  live in a house like this.  Very unusual.



After a fun filled day it poured down rain with amazingly loud thunder.
