Happy Monday, friends! And Happy Thanksgiving to my friends in Canada! Hope you’re all rested from a relaxing weekend.
We just got back from a last minute trip up north to Traverse City, MI! My husband is a huge nature lover and his favorite season is Fall. He’s been looking forward to taking a drive to see the color change, so we made a weekend trip out of it and took the kids up to Grand Traverse Resort & Spa.
We haven’t been to the resort since our dating days, so it was fun to take the boys and see the town and beautiful landscape all around Traverse City. All of us ate well and (mostly) slept well all weekend! It was so nice to have the weekend off from cooking! We had brunch at the two restaurants at the resort. Sunday brunch at Aerie was nothing short of perfect. The view was absolutely breathtaking and the food was so delicious.
The kids (and my husband) had a great time at the pool and arcade. It was a bit chillier than we were expecting, but the drive around the Traverse City area was so peaceful and breathtaking. I’m so glad we decided to take the drive up there, it was a really enjoyable trip.
