My first big adventure the weekend I arrived was to Pictured Rocks! It’s ~45 minutes outside of MQT, but I wanted to do this first, because I wanted to do a boat cruise. So I’ll be blogging all about my day on the lakeshore!

Onto part 2 of my northern Michigan road trip with Pure Michigan! The second leg of the trip was spent in Alpena. So I road-tripped from the west side of the state… over to the east side of the state! Read on for my time trekking over from Bellaire to Alpena!

Onto part 2 of our weekend in Bloomington, Indiana! It was great to have a full day to explore the city… and we were blessed with amazing autumn weather. So we started the day with a light brunch at La Vie en Rose, which is a charming and authentic French cafe, specializing in French pastries and quiches, baked in house daily. We parked right out front, were quickly seated inside their cute cafe, and enjoyed lattes, quiches (leek & bacon was so good!) and split a butter-sugar crepe, which was my favorite. After brunch, we left the car parked there and decided to explore Bloomington by scooter!

I’m excited to blog about our trip to Bloomington, Indiana! As you all know, I love exploring Michigan… and I’m really excited to be getting out of the state to explore more of the midwest. Definitely a midwest fan over here! Bloomington, included. It was such a fun weekend. The town is small enough to get a good sense of in a long weekend, but also big enough to provide so many different adventures and options of places to eat, drink, and see. We followed a fun scavenger hunt from Visit Bloomington and tried to knock as much as we could off the list… but didn’t even make it close to half way! Looks like we’ll have to schedule another trip there soon!

Onto my last post from our trip to Springfield, Ohio! So I wanted to do an entire blog post on where we stayed… because it was wonderful. I loved it! We were able to stay in one of the treehouses at the historic Simon Kenton Inn. For a little history, Simon Kenton was a U.S. frontiersman and a soldier. He served the United States in the Revolution, the Northwest Indian War and the War of 1812. The land was deeded to him by the U.S. government. Simon’s cabin was built adjacent to where the old Spring House still stands and a historical marker is all that remains today. These grounds have so much history, charm, and character to them. We loved exploring the inn, and we were lucky enough to stay in one of the newest additions to the property — their luxury treehouses!
