After the wedding last weekend, Chris, our friend AJ, and I drove up the Old Mission Peninsula in search of an apple orchard. It was a gorgeous day, and we found apples...
in a front yard! It was pretty adorable - they had a tube for money and bags, but no one was out there. So we left our money and picked some apples.
A brief struggle over the apples between Chris & AJ
After the apple picking, we drove back down the peninsula and stopped at a winery. A lot of grapes in Northern Michigan! The views were absolutely beautiful - at one point you can see Lake Michigan on both sides. How long til retirement - 2 years? 3 years?
I grew up outside of Grand Rapids so my family drove up to the Traverse City area every summer to camp. I LOVE it up there and will for sure be joining you upon retirement :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Katie! I'm Kate...I'm in your mom's watercolor class at Eastern. We were looking at your blog today (and your Etsy site...your stuff is adorable!)
ReplyDeleteI saw your comment about retiring in TC.
I'm a native Traverse-Citian...the winters suck. That's all I have to say. Unbelievably miserable. Just something to consider.
Fun reading your blog! :)
Hi Kate! Thank you for all the sweet compliments!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, I can totally imagine that the winters are terrible. If winters are this bad in Chicago (being on Lake Michigan), I can only imagine they'd be worse in Traverse City, being so far north!
