Here’s 48 hours exploring Port Huron in the Blue Water Area of Michigan’s “Thumbcoast”! Be sure to check out the Fort Gratiot lighthouse, eat at a few delicious spots (the fish and chips from Freighters are 10/10), tour the Lightship Huron (a lightship turned into a museum), check out the boardwalk, freighter watch along the St. Clair River, and spend some time learning about the area at the Port Huron Museum. 💙
Read MoreHow in the helly do I not already have a blog post titled McCarty’s Cove? The cove that… I’ve spent the last five years crying and healing at, lol. This was the first stop I made after settling into my Airbnb the first night of moving to Marquette. Speaking of which, my five-year Yoopiversary is coming up… and I’m already sentimental over it. I’m already sentimental anyway, let alone adding on an anniversary of something that’s been one of the most life-changing moves I could have made. I found home. That’s for sure.
Read MoreSunflower season! 🌻 One of my favorite August rituals is to take a mini weeknight road-trip over to Rock, Michigan to visit the sunflower field at Fall Farms. So stunning. They only last a few weeks… so it’s similar to tulip season, lilacs in bloom or fall colors popping off, when you hear they’ve hit peak, you run! An easy road-trip, only about an hour from Marquette, it’s well worth the trip.

You can access this spot via car when the drive is open, and if you park along the side just beyond where the lookout/boardwalk view is, you’ll find a tiny path, that’ll take you right to this spot. Stunning. Vast views of Lake Superior, the Presque Isle Breakwater Lighthouse, cliffs, and if you head there early enough, a sunrise view.
Read MoreI headed over to the east side of the Upper Peninsula to capture some content for a video I’m working on, and it was a lovely excuse to spend an evening in Paradise and make my way up to Whitefish Point. I stayed at the Paradise Lakefront Lodge, walked over to dinner at The Inn, drank blackberry wine and ate wings, got their famous carrot cake to-go. Relaxed on the balcony with a view of Lake Superior, took a drive up to Whitefish Point to snap photos, windows down and music up on the way home, some of my favorite kind of moments.
Read MorePopping in with a short and sweet blog post today from Bum’s Beach! It’s still been quite chilly here in the Upper Peninsula, so I’ve been layering up a lot, rockin’ this 90s trucker jacket over everything in a pinch, but definitely ready to just wear my spring/summer outfits without always having to layer up! But I mean, it’s pretty much that way until the 4th of July, even beyond. Before I moved here, I used to joke you could still wear your heaviest sweater in summer in the UP. It’s true! 😆
