It's a Sign...

Yes, it is the first sign of fall. We can not escape it. Fall is coming to western Michigan. It has been such a wonderful summer that I hate to see it end. There will be hot days, then cool and cooler days will approach.

Up North Tradition

Every Summer the family take a vacation to Northern Michigan. This Summer was no different. Welcome to our UP NORTH TRADITION!


Time was not an issue and the adventures mapped out our days...



Our first stop... Robinson's Senic Garden - sculpture destination.



We took day trips to different places.

Torch Lake
Mackinaw City

Charlavoix

Northport - My husbands family had a cottage up there 40 years ago.
Our Putt-Putt Golfing Adventure at Captain's Cove.

The Beautiful Traverse City. Our final destination.

Waves crashing against the shore.


Beautiful Sunsets each night.

Fun Sand Creations.


We spent more time in the water then out!

View from our Motel - The Sands

We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. Only wished it could have lasted longer. But isn't that how it always is...?
Hope you had as much fun as we did.

A Summer Day...



I could't resist some of the beautiful flowers in my neighborhood. So many different varieties of flowers. It was hard choosing which ones to share.
We are on vacation for about a week. Hope to run into great weather and beautiful scenes of Northern Michigan.
