Summer is off and rolling! To kick off summer solstice, we headed up to Mackinac Island for a whirlwind trip. Eric played a gig up there in Marquette Park, so we went up on Thursday afternoon and hopped a ferry Friday morning. Thankfully we'll be back for a longer weekend soon, but it was so great to experience the island for one evening. Any trips (no matter how long or short) in Michigan are my favorite. This state truly has my whole heart. The great lakes, the lighthouses, the small quaint towns... this is by far my favorite place in the world. And I don't even have to travel the world to figure that out. I am a Michigan girl through and through, forever and ever.

Mother Stewart's Brewing

Onto my last post from Springfield, Ohio! Excuse the wrinkles, but this was at the very tail end of our trip after two action-packed days. (I also forgot our steamer.) But! I just had to blog these photos, because the brewery was so cool... and Eric's outfit was cooler than mine! But on our last night in town, we headed over to Mother Stewart's Brewing. It was awesome! I loved it. The vibe was really cool, they had a great selection of beers (and lots of options for non-beer drinkers!). I went for a rosé sangria on ice that was delicious. We enjoyed drinks outside in the outdoor beer garden and enjoyed watching all of the fireflies. So many fireflies on this trip!

Yellow Springs, Ohio

On the itinerary for our trip to Springfield, Ohio... was an afternoon in Yellow Springs! I was excited to explore this little town. It's known as a funky, artsy town with eclectic boutiques and shops, just 10 minutes outside Springfield. Plus, we heard of a great walk at Glen Helen Nature Preserve, full of springs and waterfalls, which I knew we had to do! It was the perfect afternoon for it too. I loved exploring, grabbing a bite to eat and taking in the sights of this quaint town! Have you ever been to Yellow Springs before? (This is also apparently where Dave Chappelle and his family live... so we were keeping an eye out, but didn't spot him!)

Exploring Springfield, Ohio

On our first full day in Springfield, Ohio... we spent the morning exploring their downtown! Thankfully the weather was beautiful and sunny, and we were able to walk almost everywhere! I loved how walkable this area was. It's always a great way to take in a new city and get a little fresh air! Plus, it's fun to find different things that weren't necessarily on your itinerary. Do you guys make itineraries when you travel? When we're heading to new places, I love making itineraries. Planning for a trip is almost as fun as taking it sometimes! Other times, it's nice to just relax and let the day take you where it may. We stopped to all of the places we wanted to visit, but we also found a few surprises along the way!

Hartman Rock Garden

We're back from a fun and exciting trip to... Springfield, Ohio! I love small-town adventures, quirky tourist traps and exploring new places, so this trip was right up my alley. It's a relatively easy drive from Michigan (about 5 hours), and there are lots of unique things to do to spend a weekend there! I'll be blogging about our trip all week... and first up, we have the Hartman Rock Garden. It's one of the nation's most revered works of in situ folk art, an outsider art phenomena where self-taught artists construct worlds out of concrete, metal, stone, and whatever else they can find. It was interesting to explore and see how much detail went into this garden!

A few obsessions

Happy June! I can't believe I haven't posted on the blog yet this month. Time is going so quickly! I'm loving this month so far, but I definitely wish things would slow down a little bit. I knew this was going to happen, because we always overbook ourselves in the summer. On one hand, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love our travels, events, extra social time, and all of Eric's gigs. On the other hand, it makes time just fly right on by. I'm just trying to hang on for the ride and really enjoy summer! I'm just glad it's at the beginning, and I can try to be more intentional about slowing down.
