This week’s post keeps me a little closer to home, well at
least my home state. Last summer our
family (18 of us) rented two homes in Harbor Springs, Michigan for a week in
August. What an amazing area! It is nestled on little Traverse Bay,
boasting hilly landscape, lavish homes, and a beautiful bluff overlooking the
quaint small town. It is a year round
travel spot for both skiers and boaters.
We were able to walk almost everywhere. Where we could not walk, bikes were our mode
of transportation.
Our days were spent relaxing at the beach, family baseball
games, reading books, visiting local shops, and sightseeing. Our evenings were spent cooking, making s’mores
by the fire, and staring at the incredible amount of stars in the clearest sky
I have ever seen. It was a week of reconnecting
with family, relaxation, and creating lasting memories.
One of our favorite places to visit, (and we visited more
than once), was Tom's Mom's Cookies. I guess they are fairly well known and ship their
products all over the state, but this was my first experience – but will not be
my lastJ! My favorite was the peanut butter and
chocolate chip!
Another place we fell in love with was the Stained Cup Coffee Company. A unique coffee shop with refreshing daily
drink specials and one-of-a-kind sandwich choices. It was a perfect place to grab lunch and sit
outside and enjoy the afternoon. I would
highly recommend this restaurant.
We enjoyed the area so much we are planning to go back their
this summer! If you are interested in visiting this “Pure Michigan” gem, the following
website will help you get to know the area, Harbor Springs Chamber.
Sounds like fun!
