Kayak, Bike and Brew Tour

Traverse City is awesome. What better way to explore the lovely town than a “Kayak, Bike & Brew” Tour!
It was a great day with our guide Max, who was raised here and winters in Vail Colorado, and the aspiring young couple Connor and Katie, who are vacationing before commencing the Navy Pilot School in Pensacola Florida.
We visited four breweries in town, and got there via three different locomotive means (by foot, by bike, and by kayak).
Biked to one of the newest breweries and newest areas of town, the Lake District. 
Right Brain Brewery –   try the Blue Magic Lavender Ale and the Naughty Girl Stout Cookies!
Then, biked down to the lake waters and kayaked the river to –
Rare Bird Brewery – appetizers of beer cheese and pretzels were yummy as well as the adult beverages!
Hotel Indigo rooftop – we have a rooftop Hotel Indigo in Columbus Georgia, although this one beats it hands down. 
CHEERS! 🍻🍻🍻🍻.

 

 

 

 

 

A Fairyland

It’s not often that I dedicate a full blog post to a particular campground, but this one is worthy. Maybe it was just the magical weather, or the energy of opening weekend, but this place will be on our list of campgrounds to re-visit. 
It doesn’t hurt my persuasion when you encounter adorable tiny homes full of gnomes and mushrooms either!

TART and VASA Bike Trails 

We hopped on our e-bikes first thing when we arrived in the late afternoon, and found ourselves out in the middle of a vast network of snowmobile trails. Literally miles and miles we could’ve explored but we needed to head back to get dinner going before sunset.

 

 

 

Timber Ridge Lake

Just one of the many fun locales to play in this campground. Also featured in the campground: the biggest jump pad for kids I’ve ever seen (my guess was that it was 75-1000 feet long and 30 feet wide!), a nice pool, an impressive playground area included a zipline, a covered bridge, cornhole tournament area, volleyball, pickleball, and so much more. Oh to be a kid again!
