Derek and I had a chance to get away for a long weekend in July to celebrate 7 years of marriage and have some rest and relaxation before the baby arrives. We didn't go all out like our first "Babymoon" but we were just looking for a little more down time anyway.
Even though it was the weekend following Independence Day we managed to find some campsites in Cadillac and Traverse City. Cadillac was showing their fireworks, having a celebration and everything. All we had to do was walk our lawn chairs down a few campsites and sit by the water to watch the fireworks over Lake Cadillac. The lake is a nice 10 mile bike loop as well.
After two days in Cadillac we headed north to Traverse City for the start of the National Cherry Festival.
There was no shortage of things to do there either! We had our bikes along so we made good use of the TART trails all around. There were vendors, shops, a carnival, and... a craft sale!
One evening we went all retro and grabbed burgers at Don's Drive-In. Then we headed to Honor, MI to watch some movies at the Cherry Bowl Drive-In Theatre.
It was nice to be able to stay out late, sleep in, and ignore all nap times (except when we wanted our own!).
The last day we packed up and took a drive up the peninsula to Old Mission Point Lighthouse.
We found the cutest little general store too!
All in all it was a great little getaway!
