Daniel Eats: The Towns of Lake Michigan

Daniel Eats: The Towns of Lake Michigan

We went to a restaurant called Silver Harbor Brewing Co.  I got a build your own pizza.  I thought it meant that you could just choose your toppings, but they brought out shredded cheese, the dough, and the sauce, so I really got to make my own pizza and they just cooked it.  Pretty cool, Aye!!...

Gut feeling… intuition… that little voice… How often do you have it or feel it?  Do you listen?  From the beginning of our trip we had a feeling about the leg of our trip between Manitoulin Island, Ontario and South Haven, Michigan.  8 nights of the trip that just didn’t seem right… but we weren’t sure why, or more importantly what would feel right.  We had great places on the itinerary… so what could be wrong?...

I saw a waterfall and lots of cool rock formations in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and I saw another waterfall in Tahquamenon Falls State Park.  The rock formations had lots of different colors and looked like some of the rocks had fallen off before… falling rocks are cool if you aren’t under one!

 

I also saw two lighthouses.  One was on an island and was made out of wood… I know it seems crazy… but it actually was and it looked like an old school house.  I would like to go to school there...

The “UP”… it’s legendary for its beauty and tranquility.  It’s referred to as remote, uninhabited, and untouched.  Some call it “God’s Country”.  Neither Todd or I had been to the UP.  Though Lake Superior wasn’t originally on our trip itinerary, we couldn’t resist the pull to experience the southern Lake Superior shore before heading to Lake Michigan.

Why Are Our Restaurant Choices At Least "Good"??

If you’ve read a few of our blogs, you might be asking... do they ever go to a bad restaurant??  The answer is… usually no.  I really can’t remember the last time we had a bad meal out.  However, this isn’t just by luck or chance.  We know our preferences, do research, follow our instincts, and set our expectations before visiting a restaurant.  The little time we spend doing this pays off!
