Travel Adventures: Summerfest & MI (July 4th week)

That's right I am a crazy person and I have been traveling a lot lately. Weew!
I took the entire first week of July off and let me tell you it was worth the time off. Remember to take time away from work to reset if you can. Even if it is a day here or there.

Summerfest

We went on 6/30 to see Zac Brown Band and it was such a fun day even though some of the weather was a tad crazy earlier in the day.

Some highlights:
I have been here before. It was slightly raining so we stopped in to this fun brewery for a bit.

YEY!

I love adventures with friends!

First band of the day.

Done!

Twins in the rain.

Rain go away!

My favorite thing at Summerfest Reuben rolls!

The crowds.

Sun! ZZB time!


Our view.



We are ready for ZZB!

WOW.


Such a good show!

 Trip to MI!

Ryan has family in MI and they all go up to Munising MI each year for the fourth. We joined them this year and just had the best time. It is seriously gorgeous in MI.  I loved the food, the activities and all the people.

July 3rd
Ryan's birthday. We enjoyed a beautiful drive up north, some kayaking and dinner!
The fish bucket is fantastic. White fish! yum!

He is thrilled I promise.

WOW! What a view.

Happy Birthday.

We are ready!




Yes- I ate fish for both of my meals this day. So good!
July 4th
I mean a parade-- nap-- fireworks and goooood food. The fireworks were some of the best I have ever seen.

The like have the BEST bagel place in town. We went two times while in Munising MI! 

$5 blood's in 88 degrees? yes!

Parade time.

Fire Trucks!

Ryan and I fed Ty a lot of cool freezies.

We walked to the docks to see all the boats. Look a pirate ship!

July 5th
We were invited to a family members camp (cabin) for the day. It was the perfect day.
Falling Rock Café has the biggest sandwiches!

It rained the night before but the heat burned all the clouds off for the perfect day.

Beautiful cabin.

Look at that view!




"toes in the water, butt on the dock"


Fish!


Wood fire pizza for dinner? yes please!



July 6th
This day we went home but took a road trip adventure on the way. Some risks this day did not pay off. Looking at you beaver lake drive that caused us to go off roading in the jetta a bit. We loved going down the winding highway with wind in our hair though.

Okay.. I loved the bagel place so much I had to go back.

Mini hike at Munising falls.



Beautiful.

Miners Castle. We actually went Kayaking in and around this location on Ryan's birthday.



Yvonne told us a funny story about drinking some adult beverages here as a young adult.  :)


Took a break from the road for lunch!
Grand Marais is so cute!

Beaver Lake we know you are out there... somewhere...

A puppy at the brewery.


Amber beer at the brewery.


We met a kind lady from GB here that runs the museum. Cool little place with tons of fun history.

Home.

Wine and a fire after a long travel day. :)
Just a whirl wind of a good time. Happy to be home and start looking to purchase Sea Kayaks for more adventures!

Until next time~
