Oh, hi, hello - you've made it to my third and final post of my trip to Traverse City. In our relaxed state, we wanted to be super low key as we had a 6ish hour drive ahead of us that same day. We got amazing brunch at this quaint little French place in the downtown area called Patisserie Amie. Fresh food, my love and a cup of jo had me on cloud nine. We chose to walk around and then...
On the second day of our quick trip, we only had to expectations for the day: 1) stay outdoors and 2) have a picnic. We did just that. We started off with some breakfast at The Towne Plaza. It was pretty yummy and sitting outside on a patio is always a plus. While we were grubbin', the weather was pretty gloomy but still warm, but even though we were confused on what to do and what to wear, we headed over to the bay area. We rented out our bikes for a couple of hours and...
About a week ago my gf and I did a nice little road-trip getaway for the Memorial Day Weekend. It was a very spur of the moment situation - we thought we were riding off to Wisconsin, then potentially flying to Colorado but ended up gracing the road on our way to Traverse City, Michigan. Lisa had me at, "quaint little area with cute places to eat + shop and beautiful scenery" ... sold. I will say we didn't anticipate the drive would be as long as it was, but the journey to our destination was just as fun. We made a pit stop in Three Oaks, Mi. to the Journey Man Distillery where we...
Summer is the season that ignites all of your favorite memories - sandy hair, backyard grilling, ice-cream runs, short shorts, music blasting in the car as you drive down the highway... and the list can go on and on. This past weekend I was able to indulge in a little summer memory making by going to Lake Geneva. It's such a beautiful and serene place; a hidden gem. I got ready that morning with no expectations of going there, so I threw on my summer uniform: shorts, tee, booties and sunnies (hat optional because of the heat). Had I known there was a 26 mile trail/walk, I would have decked myself out in something a little more...athletic. I went with my family and my sister snapped these quick little photos.The scenery was so beautiful, I have to go back!
I want to do more trips like this, so if there's any cool suggestions floating around on the interwebs, let me know - cheers to the summa'time!
As I was cleaning up my room the other night, it hit me...I hadn't taken any pictures of my new bedroom! I do it every year, for a new room that contains new memories. I know this post is very picture heavy and lacking any explanation, but what can I say? This is my little island, my creative bubble, my comfort zone. I call it "Zebra Island version 2.0" because of my ultimate favorite zebra carpet I acquired last year; it brings everything together. It's pretty representative of who I am and how my mind works. So enjoy the inside look!
