We went to Traverse City for the Cherry Festival. We got in Friday night and set up in our little piece of paradise:
Saturday morning we were up early and ate breakfast and a super yummy cafe and then walked over to the beach to lay in the sun and watched the Blue Angels.Look at all the boats getting ready to watch!
I just could NOT get over how talented these pilots were!
The beach was packed!
Saturday night we hung out at the campground and played chess and miniature golf and I beat Garth at both! Don't believe me? I have proof:
Sunday we ate at our favorite restaurant (North Peak Brewery - if you are in Traverse City go there!) and then headed to Old Mission Peninsula to do some wine tasting:
After tasting some delicious wines we went to the beach at the end of the Peninsula and floated on our rafts for a couple of hours. I don't think life gets much better than that. Then we drove back to the cabin and made a camp fire, grilled some bratwursts on the campfire and enjoyed our last night.And that is that. The end to a perfect weekend. I seriously don't know where it went, it went so fast. Now we're back to the grind. But life is good!

It sounds like you two had a wonderful weekend! I think it is great to have an unplugged weekend like that because it gives you plenty of time to focus only on yourselves.
Have a lovely week!
A getaway from technology sounds like so much fun and it looks like you guys had a great time! That is one huge chess game too!
LOL no judging, cabins are my idea of camping too!! Wow what a wonderful weekend, so glad ya'll were able to get away!!
Great pictures!!
Cabins are the ONLY way I would consider "camping"... & what an adorable little cabin that is!!!
And yipee for winning against the hubs... that always makes a weekend better! :)
My husband and I saw the Blue Angels a few months ago at an air show and they really are spectacular.
Your weekend looks like it was fantastic! They really do go by too fast, though. I hope things begin to even out for you and a new "usual schedule" falls into place. In the meantime, keep treating yourself to good, quiet moments!
Oh, I so need a weekend like that! I love camping and cooking over an open fire.
I love the Cherry Festival!!
What a sweet time together and I’m sure very much needed. It’s always great to unplug and just enjoy each other without all the distractions. Sounds like a GREAT weekend!! :)
How fun! I love Traverse City and I LOVE going to the Cherry Festival. We didn't make it this year, though :( Looks and sounds like you guys had an awesome time! Love the little cabin :)
What a fun weekend!!! I've always wanted to play with a giant chess set. :) I love watching the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds fly. Something about the sound and speed. Sure wish I was a pilot but then I remember I hate flying. LOL!!!
XOXO

I'm so glad you were able to get away for a while and relax from all the craziness!

Sounds like fun....I love the huge chess board.
What a fabulous getaway! You are looking great! It does a relationship so good to just getaway and BE together.
Ohh I've stayed in camping cabins like those before and it can be so relaxing to get away from it all! Glad you guys have able to get away and enjoy yourselves, I've missed your updates! Hope all is well!
I keep thinking that maybe Husby and I should go unplugged for a little bit while on vacation in two weeks... So happy you two enjoyed your camping trip :)
