Weekend Idea Round-Up

I'm sitting with a view of the Grand Traverse Bay, reflecting on the day. Kelly and I began our whirlwind trip north with the adorable cows of Country Dairy before visiting with the charming staff of the historic Cartier Mansion. The afternoon brought us to the number one resort in the Midwest, Crystal Mountain, and finally to the beautifully detailed Cherry Tree Inn, where I now rest. I can't wait to share all these adventures with you over the coming weeks.

For now, start planning your weekend in West Michigan with this edition of the round-up and check back tomorrow evening for the winner of the Weathervane Inn giveaway.

High five,
