You can also check out our previous itineraries here and here. Where We Stayed (and Almost Stayed) We booked our stay at Arlo Midtown, which is a boutique hotel in Manhattan. It was a great location.

Where to Stay in Traverse City: An Michigan Airbnb Farm
We finally got away! And to such a charming Michigan Airbnb. The style was amazing. It was the perfect pandemic “getaway.” We had the farm to ourselves, complete with a fire pit for roasting marshmallows, and access to a 17-mile hiking/jogging/biking trail. We were able to order out a few (okay, almost all) the times during our stay from restaurants in Traverse City. Read on for all of the details.

Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road: Top 5 List
Hi and Happy Friday! Welcome to a place where we talk about all of the discoveries of the week. This week I’m sharing my Top 5 List. Sort of. A location that is in my Top 5 Places to Visit. Lighting that is in my Top 5 wish-list purchases for the house this year. A dish reminiscent of those childhood Spaghetti-O’s (but much better!) that is in our family’s Top 5 dinner rotations. A book that I read a few years ago but that remains on my Top 5 list. And, finally, the softest pants that are in my Top 5 rotation for winter and spring.

Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road: Tacos, Shopping, Bloody Mary’s, and Barre
Welcome back to my randomness… with Friday Finds, Take 2….Hope you all had a great week! We made it to almost-Friady. Yay! And I made it through February without a broken bone- double Yay! Our only February hick-up was that our dog ate sand at the beach and had to spend the night at the Emergency Animal Hospital. Fortunately, he is back to his crazy, jumping, kissing 10-year old self.

NOLA in 2 days
A while ago, my husband and I traveled to New Orleans. Frankly, I went along because it had been a long winter and I thought a little sunshine and warm weather would do my soul some good.
