Four Winds Casino Resort

Even though the Four Winds Casino Resort is absolutely lovely in every way, we were really just thrilled to arrive at any location after braving the icy, snowy roads on the way to New Buffalo, Michigan. I’m a Southern girl used to driving on Southern roads where we only very occasionally have to worry about … Continue reading »

Firekeepers Casino Hotel

    It’s ironic that we have discovered a love for casino hotels when we don’t even gamble. We first discovered casino hotels in Las Vegas (naturally!) and, aside from walking through the casino to access the outside doors, we never gambled once. Our record didn’t change when we visited the Firekeepers Casino Hotel in … Continue reading »

It’s Not Too Late for a Michigan Ski Getaway Weekend!

Although daffodils are poking their little, bright yellow heads up in certain parts of the country, there are still plenty of snow and skiing options available in northern Michigan. Snow doesn’t melt in these parts until late in the Spring and there are lots of advantages to planning one more ski weekend before Spring truly … Continue reading »

Enjoying the Snow at Boyne Highlands

    Although a good chunk of the United States has been moaning and complaining about all the snow this winter, we actually wanted more snow and headed to Michigan to find it. We discovered the beautiful joy that is Michigan in the winter last year and considering my love for warm, tropical beaches, it’s … Continue reading »

Relaxing and Rejuvenating at the Lovely Treetops Resort

  I’m not sure exactly when we fell in love with the quite wonderful Treetops Resort. It might have been when we saw the cheerfully decorated welcome sign in the blowing snow. Or it may have been when we first saw the lodge in the middle of a snowstorm. Or it might possibly have been when we … Continue reading »

Learning to Ski at Crystal Mountain

    Last winter, we visited Michigan for the very first time and fell in love. In love with the astonishingly beautiful snow which I’m sure gets really old to those who live there and have to shovel their driveways and scrape their cars but we ADORED, in love with the friendly people, and in … Continue reading »

We loved our visit to Traverse City when we were in Michigan last winter. One of the best things we did was a tour of the area which included the Old Mission Lighthouse. A lighthouse is one of Tom’s very favorite things and he got a great photo of it.   Pin It

Winter Girlfriends Getaway to Michigan

My first choice for a girlfriends getaway is normally a beach, pretty much any beach, anywhere, anytime. But I may have to change my opinion after spending several days in Michigan enjoying the fabulous, deep, fluffy snow and all the activities that go along with it. Because we are not complete heathens when we travel … Continue reading »
