The first weekend of November, Estevan and I drove up to Traverse City, Michigan for a fall getaway. When I say we ate and drank ALL day, I really mean ALL DAY.
We started our time off with [large] salads at the Mackinaw Brewing Company. The plan was to have light food before hitting up a couple of wineries. Of course, me being me, I ordered a salad covered in artichokes, cheese, and olives and was full just over halfway through it. I also had a glass of wine, and Estevan had a beer flight.
After lunch, we headed onto Old Mission Peninsula. We only had time for two wineries, so we stopped at Black Star Farms and Chateau Chantal. After we were done there, we went to the tip of the peninsula, saw part of the sunset on the little beach by the lighthouse and successfully hunted for a geocache.
And then, we headed back into Traverse City for dinner. We stopped at a bar, and I had a HUGE burger and milkshake. Literally, my burger was a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon, an actual burger, typical burger toppings, fried pickles, and a hockey puck of fried cheese on top of it. And on top of all of those items, was another grilled cheese sandwich.
The next morning, we had an amazing breakfast at The Omelette Shoppe sitting next to (funny enough) a couple who had sat next to us at the bar the night before and had seen just how large that burger really was.
ANYWAY, it was fun. The point of all of this is that I now have Traverse City photography to share with you guys including three beach landscape photos! One is overlooking the vineyards on Old Mission Peninsula, and the other three are the beach at Mission Point during sunset. Enjoy!
