I was lucky enough to have spent the past weekend in the Little Traverse Bay area of Lake Michigan with my husband. We were in town for a Charlevoix wedding (book-themed!), and stayed in Petoskey, one of our favorite Up North towns. We discovered it last year on our Hemingway-themed vacation (more on that another day), and really fell in love. The weather is always perfect and we can guiltlessly gorge ourselves on our favorite Michigan treats like white fish sandwiches and sweet cherries, and we can stock up on libations to get us through the long, cold Detroit winters (hard apple cider, local honey, maple syrup).
