In about 2 months we will be on vacation in my very favorite spot on Earth--- Traverse City, Michigan.
That's right, I just used "Michigan" and "favorite" in the same sentence! Seriously though, there is nothing better than being on the lake, s'mores by the campfire, ice cream runs to "fishtown" and cherries plucked straight from the tree on a bike ride. This is what summer is about, and everyone has this type of place-- somewhere that means so much, holds so much promise of fun and always lives up to your expectations. This year, I plan on visiting a few more of the local area beaches, and exploring the dunes. It will be the first year I have my very own bike to bring and I am excited about exercising on the winding roads leading between wineries and water. Ah, the views! The food! The family! I can't wait, and this morning I am dreaming of vacation! In a few hours we are heading into San Francisco to celebrate the Golden Gate Bridge's 75th anniversary! (Google's search page has a little homage to it right now, so fun!) I CANT WAIT! I hope I can fulfill my dream of eating out of a food truck today. I have been in California for almost 5 months and still haven't done that, which is kind of a travesty! Today is the day though, I can feel it!
Happy Sunday friends! And p.s. give me some time to comment on the friday's letters, I have only made it through 35 but I promise I will get through them all!
Over & Out,
A

I *need* to try a food truck!
ReplyDeleteAhh, the food trucks are everywhere up there and SO good! Find them, ASAP! :) (I did see you found at least one, maybe on instagram?)
ReplyDeleteWe have a website in San Diego that kind of rounds up the trucks and lists where they are and any events where there are numerous trucks.
