Relaxing in our room
View from our balcony
We couldn't have picked a better weekend. We had nothing but sunshine and temps were in the 40's. Not exactly tropical, but pretty darn close for Michigan this time of year! We took advantage of the beautiful weather on Friday and took a drive up Old Mission Peninsula where we grabbed a light lunch at a cute little deli. We then made our way back into town where we did a lot of window shopping. After catching a quick power nap back at our hotel, we went to dinner at the Jolly Pumpkin back out on Old Mission Peninsula. To satisfy our sweet tooth, we went back to Phil's in downtown TC where we'd gone with friends last fall for a chocolately treat.
Saturday was absolutely gorgeous as well. Again, we had no set plans, so we set out driving north toward Charlevoix. We did a little window shopping and grabbed lunch at a cute place overlooking Lake Charlevoix. After lunch, we decided to check out Castle Farms. What a beautiful property! We took the self-guided tour, but I have the feeling we didn't get the full flavor for the place, as it looks like they have some amazing landscaping in the summer. As a side perk, though, we did get a season pass with our tour admission, so we may have to check it out again this summer if we happen to be in the area.

We headed back to TC later in the afternoon and had a low key dinner at North Peak Brewing Co. There were a number of things we could have done, but we decided that spending some quiet time together was a treat in and of itself.
A well-rested, rejuvenated couple :-)
