ONLY CHOICE
Seul Choix Pointe Lighthouse, pronounced Sis-shwa, means "only choice". It was named by the French who found it was the only harbor of refuge in this part of Lake Michigan. I’ve already done a full blog post of the interior/tower… saw this lighthouse for the first time back in 2019, but this was my first time being back here since living in the Upper Peninsula. A special place! ✨
A weekend in ironwood
Looking for a summer trip in the Upper Peninsula with plenty of waterfalls, a quaint downtown, fish fry, scenic overlooks, breweries, coffee shops, local shopping, and beautiful rocky beaches? Check out Ironwood! Gabbro Falls, Interstate Falls, Mt. Zion Scenic Overlook, and the Black River Harbor Pavilion are just a few of my favorite stops. 🌊
STROLL IN GRAND HAVEN
One of my favorite places to be in summer is downstate in Grand Haven. If you’re looking for a few quick recommendations, you gotta hit up Pronto Pup for corn-dogs, do a little shopping downtown, grab candy from old-timey Fortino’s, have a beach day at City Beach, and golden hour at Grand Haven's Entrance and Inner Lighthouses. ❤️
Popping in with a short and sweet blog post today from Bum’s Beach! It’s still been quite chilly here in the Upper Peninsula, so I’ve been layering up a lot, rockin’ this 90s trucker jacket over everything in a pinch, but definitely ready to just wear my spring/summer outfits without always having to layer up! But I mean, it’s pretty much that way until the 4th of July, even beyond. Before I moved here, I used to joke you could still wear your heaviest sweater in summer in the UP. It’s true! 😆
