It's been a busy few weeks {Last weekend I went up to Michigan State for tailgating and the game, the weekend before I was in Chicago, and the weekend before that I was in a wedding}. I haven't had time to cook, or work on new projects, so I thought I would share a few pictures of a trip I took last October. My Mom, aunts, cousins, and I spent the weekend in Northern Michigan visiting wineries. Northern Michigan is beautiful anytime of the year, but I think it's even more beautiful in the fall. We stayed in Traverse City and visited the wineries on the Old Mission Peninsula.

I was just thinking this morning on the way to work that I might take a ride "up north" as I am out of Grand Traverse Late Harvest Riesling. Your beautiful pictures were just the incentive I needed to firm up my plans.
ReplyDeleteSure wish I had a ticket for this weeks game!!!! I was at the Notre Dame game and that was a great tailgating night too.
Thanks for the beautiful pictures and great inspiration.
