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.

Yes, it makes for a pretty outfit backdrop, but it’s just become so much more meaningful than that. I love tradition, love seasonal activities, and this just checks the box in terms of… filling up my heart and soul cup! But yeah, beautiful as always, magical AF, what a dreamy location.

It was transformed from a vacant lot, and has a little replica of the famous Japanese bridge from Giverny, painted in its signature color. An adorable spot to check out the fish pond, sit on a bench or take some photos!

Read MoreNovember in Paradise is truly paradise—quiet, peaceful, and perfect for slowing down. With no crowds or tourist buzz, it’s just you and nature. Bugsy and I spent a couple of days soaking it all in at Tahquamenon Lodging, catching a sunrise at Whitefish Point, exploring Tahquamenon Falls, and cozying up with cribbage, wine, The Twilight Zone, and breakfast bake. Read on for a slow November weekend in Paradise! 🌊
