Fabulous Fourth

For the 4th of July this year, we hopped a plane and headed north--WAY north to the tip of Michigan. Petoskey was the quaint lake town and the occasion was my cousin Abbie's graduation celebration. We had a wonderful time exploring the new area.

We arrived on the third and spent the day getting to know the town and of course the shops and restaurants.

On Independence Day, we headed about 10 minutes north to the lovely town of Harbor Springs to an awesome 4th parade. After spending the afternoon there, we came back to Petoskey for a beautiful firework show over Lake Michigan. We were able to see two shows at once--one in Petoskey and one directly across the bay back in Harbor Springs.
