It's possible we may need an arc if this rain doesn't stop soon. Hopefully mother nature is getting it out of her system before we spend the month of July outside! Today has been the perfect day for two of our favorite activities: driving around in the jeep and eating great food. We started our day with morel omelettes at the 45th Paralell Cafe in Sutton's Bay. This place has only a handful of tables but fantastic breakfast food and great coffee. Next we took a scenic drive up M22 through Northport to check out the Grand Traverse Lighthouse. It's always cool to visit these Great Lakes lighthouses on cold, rainy days as it makes it much easier to imagine their necessity in the past. We drove down the west side of the leelenau peninsula, stopping for a short hike up to pyramid point. This is probably my favorite spot in the lower penninsula of Michigan. I've included some photos of the point below.
We drove back through Traverse City and stopped to warm up with some coffee and the best tomato basil soup ever at The Dish. This place specializes in fresh homemade soups, sandwiches, quesadillas and other cafe foods. Traverse City has no shortage of great places to eat, and this one is worth a trip. Now we are driving to Bell Aire to our hotel for the night and a visit to Short's Brewery. I'll post a report of the brewery later.
