We escaped the cold on our honeymoon by going up north in Michigan, and by that I mean it was about 5, as opposed to zero or in the negative digits. BUT we had a great time! :) Everywhere we went I tried dropping the, 'We're on our Honeymoon' to see if there were any freebies or upgrades in it for us, needless to say Northern Michigan isn't as quick to respond to that as some other places!
Our first dinner at
Short's Brewery. One little girl did come over and say Congratulations! :)
We stayed at the
Applesauce Bed and Breakfast in Bellaire, MI - HIGHLY recommend! She was a
fabulous cook, Peter has mentioned it out of the blue several times since being there, breakfasts were always a delight,
afternoon cookies were delish, and we always would try to guess what sort of
fabulous dessert would be waiting for us when we got home! It was like having a mom who minded her own business but made breakfast, treats, and
your bed everyday!
We knew the temps would be
dropping off, so on our first day we did some snowshoeing through
Hartwick Pines and took a sleigh ride at
Cook Family Farms! Such treats!!!
Mr.
History Buff :)
Day 2 was spent in Petoskey and Boyne. We shopped and treated ourselves to
Cafe Sante!
I'm such a big girl now, I went into
Cutlers all on my own :)
Trying new foods!
Day 3 we went into
Traverse City. Shopped, drove up the pointe, ate at the Jolly Pumpkin and then saw a movie at the
State Theater downtown. Such fun!!
45th Parallel! Too cold to snowshoe, too bad, it was beautiful!
Tried the
Gold Standard at the Jolly Pumpkin. It was ok, nothing to write home about!
Saw
Saving Mr. Banks in downtown TC - Tuesday night is
Free Popcorn night! Yay!
Wednesday we came home, it was sad to leave but nice to spend some time around the house before having to go back to
real life!
My fearless pilot in his
Stormy Krommer!
What a lovely
welcome home! The neighbors loved this, lots of them commented when they saw us outside!
Sunday we rounded out our honeymoon with lunch at
Red Lobster with our favorite Master and Mistress of Ceremonies and their
micelings.
Ahhh wedded bliss!
