The Flower Station

It feels strange to be posting about our weekend in Traverse City, even though it really wasn't that long ago... but so much has happened since! It's really exciting to actually have like six blog posts that are in the queue, because normally I'm scrambling to get photos and get even one post up a week. This is an awesome change of pace! I need to do this more often! Haha. But to jump back to our weekend in Traverse City, Eric and I went out to explore cherry festival and to grab a bite to eat at North Peak Brewing before his gig downstairs at Kilkenny's! It was a super hot weekend in TC, so I went for my new favorite denim skirt and a lightweight top from Madewell. Easy summer outfit!

There is nothing I love more than a weekend getaway… especially in spring/summer! We recently headed up north to Traverse City, which is one of my favorite places to visit in Michigan. Eric had a couple of gigs up there, so we used that as an excuse to book a hotel, relax at the pool, head out for a yummy dinner at a local brewery, and check out a little bit of Cherry Festival. I’m really into summer style right now – effortless, stylish, and comfortable. I’m loving these adorable Hush Puppies Chardon Fisherman from Zappos. They fit into my style and adventures perfectly. I love the tan color, the velcro straps make them super easy to put on, and they are so comfortable for lots of walking. Since we never sit still when we travel, these were perfect to bring along on our weekend trip!

Good Day Café

Phew! So much has happened in the last couple of weeks... but I still have one more post from our super short trip to Mackinac Island from last weekend. On Friday morning (after Eric's gig), we woke up and headed down to Good Day Café to grab iced lattes. This place is super cute! I think it's pretty new on the island (I haven't seen it before). I loved it. Very Instagram-worthy, their iced lattes were delicious, and they had a ton of different pastries, ice-cream, smoothies and more. I'll definitely stop back here on our next trip to Mackinac Island (which is coming up this weekend!)

Main Street on Mackinac Island
Main Street on Mackinac Island

Summer is off and rolling! To kick off summer solstice, we headed up to Mackinac Island for a whirlwind trip. Eric played a gig up there in Marquette Park, so we went up on Thursday afternoon and hopped a ferry Friday morning. Thankfully we'll be back for a longer weekend soon, but it was so great to experience the island for one evening. Any trips (no matter how long or short) in Michigan are my favorite. This state truly has my whole heart. The great lakes, the lighthouses, the small quaint towns... this is by far my favorite place in the world. And I don't even have to travel the world to figure that out. I am a Michigan girl through and through, forever and ever.

Mother Stewart's Brewing
Mother Stewart's Brewing

Onto my last post from Springfield, Ohio! Excuse the wrinkles, but this was at the very tail end of our trip after two action-packed days. (I also forgot our steamer.) But! I just had to blog these photos, because the brewery was so cool... and Eric's outfit was cooler than mine! But on our last night in town, we headed over to Mother Stewart's Brewing. It was awesome! I loved it. The vibe was really cool, they had a great selection of beers (and lots of options for non-beer drinkers!). I went for a rosé sangria on ice that was delicious. We enjoyed drinks outside in the outdoor beer garden and enjoyed watching all of the fireflies. So many fireflies on this trip!

Yellow Springs, Ohio
Yellow Springs, Ohio

On the itinerary for our trip to Springfield, Ohio... was an afternoon in Yellow Springs! I was excited to explore this little town. It's known as a funky, artsy town with eclectic boutiques and shops, just 10 minutes outside Springfield. Plus, we heard of a great walk at Glen Helen Nature Preserve, full of springs and waterfalls, which I knew we had to do! It was the perfect afternoon for it too. I loved exploring, grabbing a bite to eat and taking in the sights of this quaint town! Have you ever been to Yellow Springs before? (This is also apparently where Dave Chappelle and his family live... so we were keeping an eye out, but didn't spot him!)
