Lake Michigan Trail Loop at Leelanau State Park is our favorite! You take off in the woods, head towards sand dunes, & if you keep going past the vista point you might just find your own private beach. Peep the pics below for some of our Traverse City hiking adventures.

Rent a kayak, pack a cooler, & take an adventure. If you're also a fan of coronas on the water, don't forget the limes!

Michigan has some GREAT beer, & we highly encourage you to try some while you're here!

Stop by Dawson's 1st brewery & one of our favorites!

Rent a boat just south of Traverse City on Spider Laker where the bride, groom, & wedding party are staying! Spider Lake will provide calmer & warmer water than Grand Traverse Bay

Bayshore Resort is on the water, so grab some sort of flotation device & relax or have a beach day.

Tacos & Margs in the heart of downtown. We were huge fans of the cucumber habanero margaritas (Chris's with vodka ilo. tequila of course).

Rent a boat on West Grand Traverse Bay, pack a cooler, & head out to Power Island

Food Trucks + a Bar

Great food with an even better view & outdoor seating along West Grand Traverse Bay

Take a walk down the main street in Traverse City. Window shop, & grab a coffee, beer, or cocktail along the way.

Traverse City is The Cherry Capital of the World. Stop by for all things cherry.

"Booze Pinball & Pizza" Arcade Bar w/ Live Music Outside!

During one of our trips to Traverse we took a little 2-person bar crawl & ended up here. Chris smoked Erin at Skeeball, she took the crown in pool, & they split at Mortal Kombat.

Although we are hosting a kid-free wedding we know a handful of our guests plan to bring their little ones for the long weekend, and we want them to have a great time too!
