Traverse City, MI

This was a great trip to Michigan. Drove up from Indianapolis and the drive wasn't too bad as we stayed the night before at my parent's in southwest MI. The drive from the South Bend area was beautiful and we stopped along the way in South Haven for a bite to eat. I had never been that far north in Michigan before so when we got to TC I was amazed at the natural beauty everywhere. The lake was so blue and the weather was perfect. There were a lot of people being it was Labor Day weekend but it wasn't overcrowded. If you like outdoor activities go here! We didn't really plan on doing much but just enjoyed driving around the lake and stopped at some local wineries for some tasting. Got some great photos up by the Old Mission Lighthouse. Our hotel had a nice pool and hot tub and I was going to get a massage at the Spa but changed my mind last minute. The downtown area is cute and has neat little shops and I heard there is a mall nearby if you just have to shop that much. Next time I would love to rent jet skis or a boat and go sailing.
