We're back!

We are back from our little getaway. We left on Monday morning. It was kind of a dreary day, with little rain showers occasionally, but we had a great time anyway. It was nice to relax and spend some uninterrupted time together. We didn't have a set plan on what we were doing, but just drove avoiding highways and trying to remain near to the lake shore. We again marveled at the beauty God has given us to enjoy in this world.

This is an area near Arcadia. It said scenic turnout and we stopped to check it out. I got out of the car and said "Oh good, we get to climb steps!" Bob looked at me like I was crazy, but I figured there had to be a great view at the top. The picture above shows what the stairs look like from half way up.

We met another couple at the top who offered to take this picture. We actually ran into them again at another point in the day.
.

Here is the view from the top of all those stairs. It was even more beautiful in person.

This is the place we stayed at. It is called the Betsie Bay Inn. It's an old Inn that has been restored. Each room is different and we enjoyed our stay.

This old truck belongs to the Inn. I thought it was pretty cute!

After supper we went to the beach and watched the sun set.

The Inn has a wine cellar and guests are given a free wine tasting. This is just a portion of their wine area. It's big enough that they can have a group of people there. We tasted 3 different wines. (just la small amount of each - not 3 wine glasses full!) We liked 2 of them and didn't care for the other. It was a fun thing to do.
Tomorrow I'll post about our day Tuesday.
