Rain & Cold

Monday we arrived at Bay Harbor Motor Coach Resort

 No one came out of their RV's to visit untill happy hour.  We have gotten to know a lot of interesting people.  This is a very nice place that we would never stay at without the discount we got.

Yesterday was not a good day to be out.  It was about 56 degrees, windy and rainy.  We did go out to eat at a place called Staffords The Pier where we both had baked white fish.  It was really good and the vegetable sides were spaghetti squash and green beans that were very nice. 
These are the pictures I took after dinner. 

This morning we went to a nice deli for breakfast called Cornichons-Cafe .  I had the smoked salmon with tomato bruschetta, red onion, capers and cream cheese on a crusty baguette and Bill had the crab cakes benedict.  The service was wonderful.

We also took a long drive on 119 and the Tunnel of Trees almost made it to Mackinaw City but we took a wrong turn.

Then we drove past (a long way past) The House of Pies when Bill decided to turn around and buy a cherry pie.  I think it will be worth the 20 mile round trip to get it.

Well the sun is out and Bill is doing some cleaning while I finish the blog then we are off for a bike ride.

Our last day in Traverse City

Today we did a road trip to Suttons Bay to check out the wineries.  The scenery was beautiful. 

After dinner we walked over to the bay to watch the sunset.  I was surprised to see a few people still in the water. 

On our walk back home we encountered a man with a baby raccoon he had found two weeks ago. 

Today we are off to the Bay Harbor Resort.  It will probably take us an hour to get there.

Traverse City Wedding

We arrived at the Traverse City State Park on Thursday.  We had rain off and on during our trip up.  Upon arrival we drove the RV to our site and realized that there was NO WAY we could maneuver into it.  We were given six other sites to check out and there was one we could fit into.  After set up we had a few visitors who couldn't believe that a woman was driving the rig through the narrow park roads.  I have a GREAT partner. 

Friday we went to the Great Lakes Culinary Institute for lunch.  The food was GREAT!  I think we will travel the USA and eat at culinary schools. 

We went into town and found a shop that sells flavored olive oil and balsamic vinegars (http://www.fustinis.com/) I had to buy something here.  After tasting a couple vinegars I chose a ginger & honey balsamic. 

Saturday was the wedding.  It was beautiful!  I love to go to ceremonies where the pastor knows the couple. 

Today we are off to the art fair and tomorrow we are heading to Bay Harbor.
