A Perfect Weekend

The week before our anniversary, I emailed Andy and suggested we randomly go up North.

He replied in less than a minute: "YES."

We quickly found a rental that allowed pups and one week later we were off for a weekend away in Sutton's Bay.


As soon as we arrived, we headed to the Sleeping Bear Dunes to watch the sunset.



About five years ago, we were in nearly the same spot doing the same thing.  Except at that time Andy pulled a pretty piece of jewelry out of his hiking pants.


The next morning we arose and took off on a 36 mile round trip bike ride to Traverse City.



We made sure to properly refuel once we reached town.


And on the ride back to Sutton's Bay we stopped at a winery to continue to fuel our journey.


The next morning I got up with sun and then we drove along the penninsula, visiting lighthouses and towns that time forgot.








We then began the drive back home but of course made sure to again properly refuel along the way.


We managed to hit up two new breweries on the trip which brought us to 71/108 (and counting) Michigan breweries visited. 

We enjoyed our beers and said our cheers to a perfect weekend getaway.
