We are planning on going to California next year for a family friends’ wedding so we kept it pretty low key this year. As much as I liked the idea of going to Las Vegas for my 30th, it just did not match our criteria for a vacation this year. We wanted:
Relaxation
A
week away
Lake
front
Warm
enough weather to swim
I
know I would not want to spend a week in Vegas, that would be just too much. As
much as we wanted to go to the ocean, we will see the ocean next year in
California. I wanted to be able to go out on a balcony and enjoy the lake and
drink coffee then head to the beach and lay out all day and read. Then come
back in around dinner and get ready to go out for dinner. That was my ideal.
Lucky for me Garth has the same vacation style.
I
should also mention Garth and I are the most indecisive people ever. We looked
and looked for a vacation spot all weekend and just got frustrated with the
prices for what we would get. We looked again Monday night and just decided to
sleep on it. We could not make a decision. We over analyzed We kept weighing
the pros and cons and last night we finally made a decision.
Thanks
to a friends’ request, we are staying at a hotel on Lake Michigan in Traverse
City. It is perfect. We have a lakefront room for a whole week in late summer
with a balcony.
We
are walking distance to downtown Traverse City and a short drive to the
wineries. It is a great deal and it is in our budget. We booked it! I just
cannot wait! I have only taken one day off this year and I’m itching for a
vacation away for the week with my man. Now I have something tangible to look
forward to and to start losing weight for to get my beach body back! BRING IT
ON!
We
took the time off work and are counting down the days!

YAY for vacation! That is so awesome! I have never been to the a lake before but after seeing movies like grown ups I really want to take a vacation to a lake house! I'm so excited you guys found something that sounds like fun and is in budget!
We are the same way about vacation...we would rather do without certain things, just so we have the extra $$ to go. Looks like ya'll have a great one planned!
that will be wonderful!! Traverse City seems to have a hold on your hearts :)
Awesome!!!! Sounds like a good fun time, take lots of pictures! ;)
