Traverse City - Summer 2015

For those of you who don't follow me on social Media... MOM... here are some of the photos from our recent summer vacation to the beautiful Traverse City, Michigan! How lucky are we that Matt's hometown is a top vacation spot in the U.S. and it's easy to see why when you see how much fun we had!

Here is our car packed up and ready to go... I was literally only home for 12 hours after my Europe trip before we hit the road on vacation! and I got A LOT done in those 12 hours... Sleep, laundry, packing, and cleaning out the fridge.

the kids didn't get much sleep in the car but they did great...

and after 15 hours we were there!

 

 

We did a ton of eating on this trip... like always. Here is a full post about some of my favorite TC Restaurants.

 

Here is Hunter at our favorite Breakfast Burrito location, Cuppa Joe!  

 

Kids loved looking at the water and finding minnows

 

You see that backpack on Hunter... it is full of toys to help make sure that we make it through dinner out at a restaurant without a meltdown!

We are always sure to stop by the Great Lakes Children's Museum!

 

Both boys loved this little bridge right off of the Main Street.

 

Emma and Uncle Mitch at lunch on day...

 

Hunter went bowling for the first time... and didn't do too shabby

 We went to Sutton's Bay and wineries on Old Mission... Full post and photos HERE

Had a blast out at the North Bar Lakes and Dunes!

 

Gibson fell asleep on the raft!

 

Grilling and smores at Matt's Dad's

 

Boys did some great bonding

 

We went down to the Cherry Festival but the kids had a MELTDOWN so we didn't stay long

 

Our last full day was the 4th of July and the airshow so we went to Matt's Aunt and Uncle's... they have an AMAZING view of the bay and a pool. It doesn't get any better!

Now back to reality and HOME!
