Up North

My second week in Michigan I spent "up north" in the Bay Harbor area.  This was my first time to this part of Michigan and upon arrival I knew why this is called the Hamptons of the Mid-West.  The view was beautiful and the houses, simply amazing.  I met my sister and nephew in the Petoskey area, and we checked into the beautiful Inn at Bay Harbor...




My 9 year old was at overnight camp in Holland, my son was at an overnight camp about 30 minutes from Bay Harbor so it was just me, my sister and the little ones...

we immediately hit the beach...

we spent a day shopping in the darling town of Petoskey...


with a vintage JCPenney...


even the planters on the sidewalks were so darn cute...


we spent our evenings at the harbor...





watching the beautiful sunsets...


this place is top of my list for a good family friendly vacation spot...


my week ended on a high note when I picked my son up from golf camp and his foursome won 1st place in the golf tournament!!

  2. That place looks so nice. I never heard of it! Have you ever been to Door County, Wisconsin? Sort of reminds me of that.

    Congrats to Matthew!!

    Scarlett and Keira need to go to a camp for naughty 3 year olds. :-)

  3. I've never heard of that part of Michigan but it looks gorgeous (can definitely see the Hamptons resemblance:) A high five to your son. Pretty pictures!
