We did a little day trip to Detroit for Small Business Saturday. We started off getting coffee at a local shop – we chose Dessert Oasis, but there are a bunch of places to choose from. Some of my other favorites are Ashe Supply Co., Astro Coffee, Great Lakes Coffee and Madcap. Across from DessertContinue reading “Small Business Saturday in Detroit”

5 Summer Days in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula
We wanted to go on a COVID safe vacation and there’s no where more social distanced than the Upper Peninsula.

Brewery Tour in Kalamazoo, Michigan
Michigan is one of the top three best states for craft beer in the country and Kalamazoo is one of the best cities to get beer in Michigan! There are many breweries and most are downtown and within walking distance of one another.
It’s about a 2.5 hour drive from the Detroit area. We got an airbnb and did a self-made brewery tour for a day. It’s a great way to spend a Saturday, especially when it’s warm out!

Three Fall Days in Traverse City, Michigan
We went up to Traverse City to see some leaves and drink some beer! Make sure you check out leaf projection maps before going up north. It’s hard to catch them at their peak!
