Autumn in Chikaming Township, Michigan


My wife and I love autumn, so a two-night minimoon in Chikaming Township, Michigan immediately following our wedding was a no-brainer. We rented the most perfectly charming cabin in the woods, which happens to be owned by artists and sculptors Linda Hoffhines and Floyd Gompf. Their work is amazing and the whole environment is so inspiring that I could barely put my camera down. We had such a wonderful time that we're already planning our return. Happy Fall everyone!

So cool.

We hit the road to check out the area... 

And began our adventure at a huge pumpkin farm (the name is escaping me). 








Then we had a delicious lunch at Greenbush Brewing Company. 

After, we popped into Journeyman Distillery for one of their mouthwatering cocktails.

 Before heading back to Chicago, we roamed around the Warren Dunes State Park.





Happy family

Pure Michigan


Last June, a few of my friends rented a house in New Buffalo, Michigan for the weekend of my 30th birthday. We had so much fun, we decided to make it an annual vacation. We began the weekend in Three Oaks, Michigan at the fantastic Journeyman Distillery. From there, we ventured to our rental house and spent the rest of the weekend in and out of the lake. Looking through the photos makes me wish I was back there! Until next year, New Buffalo...

Three Oaks, MI

Journeyman Distillery - I definitely recommend popping in for one of their delicious cocktails. Organic liquors made in a beautifully refurbished factory from the 1800s.

Our gorgeous view for the weekend.

This is Jay. He is awesome.

This is Jillian's reflection. She - and her reflection - are awesome too.

While taking a dip in the water, we suddenly found ourselves in the middle of a hail storm. 

The calm after the storm.

And how could I go to Michigan without my Browns flag?
