The second weekend in October Brad and I decided to do a little getaway together. Our little man is expected to arrive in a couple of months and we thought it would be nice to go on a little trip just us...considering I doubt we will want to leave our kids anytime soon after he is born. We decided to head up north to Traverse City. Although we have gone there together a few times, we knew it would be gorgeous up there with the leaving changing color, beautiful Lake MI, and the great towns that are so close by. We had a wonderful weekend together - walking downtown in TC, catching a movie "Life as we Know it", eating out for breakfast, traveling to Charlevoix's Apple Festival, seeing Torch Lake, walking around in Petosky, driving along the TC Peninsula, taking naps, reading, watching TV, eating at a really cute restaurant called the Jolly Pumpkin, and seeing the lighthouse...all without interruptions! It was a great weekend alone with my hubby just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful fall weather and scenery!
Enjoying Petosky along Lake MI
We stopped at this family orchard up north for some apple cider donuts - such a beautiful orchard!
A glimpse of Torch Lake - so beautiful - it was so cool to see all the way to the bottom of this clear lake
The place that we stayed - Tamarack Lodge
The view from our room - I was so thrilled to be able to wake up and see that in the morning.
The views from the lighthouse on the Traverse City peninsula.
The colors and wineries on the peninsula was breathtaking!

my husband and i stayed at tamarack lodge last year and had an awesome time. what a fun trip!
Beautiful pics and so nice that you got to spend some time together alone! That is so important!
Jolly Pumpkin was good, eh? Thought it was a neat little place and had a fun history behind it too. Hope you stayed long enough to sneak around the place and check out everything! Nice little drive up there too...not to mention the food and drinks :)
