Today was wine tasting day. Who knew Michigan has so many delicious wineries? We went up Old Mission Peninsula and visited the wineries. The peninsula was breath taking. The vineyards were such a sight to see. Rolling hills with rows of vines with a crisp blue bay in the background and the hazy summer sky overhead. Absolutely gorgeous is what it was. For lunch we stopped at Bad Dogs for pizza but someone forgot to take out the pizza dough. So we had to settle for sandwiches. Glad we did though. That was the best sandwich I have ever ate. Yum-o! Buffalo chicken sandwich with blue cheese on a sun dried tomato wrap. Delish!
After the wine tasting and the fabulous lunch, we were off to Sault Ste. Marie to visit my brother. We took the scenic route through Charleviox and Petoskey up the north western side of the state. Charleviox was a hopping town. It was very busy there and it was a Wednesday afternoon. I'm sure the weekends are crazy.
When we got to Petoskey, we stopped at the city and walked around. They are a very scenic park on the bay and small playground. I took some pictures of the kids and they ran around for a little while. Then back in the car and on the road again.
After we crossed the Mackinac Bridge we started to see some storms rolling in. It was sad to see the rain coming but the clouds were very impressive and a photogenic. We got to my brother's house a little while later. It was strange getting there and knowing grandma wasn't there. This is only the second time we've been up here since her funeral. It just feels really strange without her here, like something is missing.
