Northern Michigan

Northern Michigan is well known for vineyards, orchards, beautiful aqua lakes and senic drives. We drove 3 hours north of Grand Rapids, Michigan to the Traverse City area last weekend. We never made it to Traverse City, but enjoyed our time at Glen Lake, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Bar Lake.

Below, a picture of Glen Lake. North Manitou Island in Lake Michigan is in the background. Brian hiked across this island the summer of 2006


The next three pictures are from Sleeping Bear Dunes. Ezra ran, and ran and ran. He especially loved running down the hills. Our friend brought a kite to utilize the wind coming from Lake Michigan over the dunes. Little Glen Lake is in the background.


Ezra really enjoyed the weekend with our friend, Dick L., who invited us to stay with them an evening at their cottage.
