Spending 4 days in Chicago was a blast! It's such a fun, big, bustling city with so much to do and see and eat!! The perfect antecdote for that kind of fun, is a week in Traverse City. An area with beautiful natural lakes (including Lake Michigan) and lots of farms and boutique shops and wineries!
We rented a cottage on Long Lake. It's the area where we used to live and was familiar to us and a great location. I would definitely go back to that lake every year! The lakes up there are sandy bottom, clear, clean lakes.
 |
| We had to do a drive-by of the old house. We call this the Fishers Run house. It looks the same as it did 3 years ago when we moved! |
 |
| Gallaghers. The BEST farm and market! We used to go here all the time when we lived here before, so of course, we went about 3-4 times while we were there. Great fresh produce and you get to go pet the animals and walk around and pick some of their produce, if you want! |
 |
| All over Traverse City, there are beautiful old barns. |
 |
| Jackson particularly liked the bunnies. This one nibbled his finger too! |

| Jackson also enjoyed chasing the chickens around. |
 |
| Sloan loved playing with the toy tractors. |
 |
| but the real tractor was even better! |

| One of the many wineries. THis one is on Old MIssion Peninsula-that is in the middle of Grand Traverse Bay, and separates it into East bay and West bay. This was a converted school house. |

| Inside the winery. My brother, Christina, me and Aunt Jodi. |
 |
| Wineries aren't really kid friendly, so the boys played outside and found lots of interest things. |
