We kind of cheated and took our Sunday drive yesterday. My husband was itching to take a road trip with the kids so we loaded them up in the car and headed over to Traverse City for the day. Lunch at North Peak Brewing Company was delicious. Steve ordered a beer sampler and the dark [...]

As I said earlier today we went on a Sunday train ride on the Michigan AuSable Valley Railroad. We were very lucky to have gotten a chance to ride the railroad since yesterday was the last day that it was open.  It’s a great family activity that takes you on an 18 minute ride through [...]

I’m working on my Sunday Drive post and it’s a good one. Yesterday we took a train ride on the Michigan AuSable Valley Railroad, which is just a few minutes from our home. It’s a great ride for families because it’s not only so much fun for kids and adults but the views are spectacular. [...]

Today was overcast, but I really wanted to get out for a drive because the trees are just about to reach the peak of their color change. I didn’t have to drive far to get some beautiful views. This one is about two miles down the road from me.

Isn’t that beautiful! Look at those [...]

One of the things I love most about living Up North is how breathtakingly beautiful it is during the Fall color change. The trees are God’s canvas and he paints them with brilliant and fiery reds, golds, and oranges.

Earlier this evening, Little Miss Throwsafit, Littlest One and I drove to Garland to meet my husband and Little man for dinner. It was about 7:35pm and the sky looked so beautiful that I stopped to take pictures. Since I wasn’t able to get out today for an official Sunday drive, I took the opportunity [...]

My it was such a beautiful day. It was so warm and sunny. Unfortunately, though, I wasn’t able to go for a drive, so I took a walk out to the back of our property instead and just photographed some really cool views.
Like this one:

Those trees and plants are so lush and green, [...]

Even though it was a chilly and somewhat drizzly day Up North, it was still a nice day to go for a drive. My drive today took me about two miles or so down the road from my home and is one of my favorite landscapes.

I just love that view. It makes me want [...]

Years ago, probably when our parents were young, it was common for families to get into their cars and go for a Sunday drive. It didn’t mean going very far, just far enough to enjoy the beauty of the world around them. The trees, the birds, the sun, the fresh air.
Today, everyone’s lives are so [...]
