10 Traverse City Things that Rock My World
Tomato Basil soup and super great food at Another Cuppa Joe on a chilly day!
Sitting in the Adirondack chairs with friends watching the light change over Spider Lake.
Beaner’s wifi access and their friendly staff.
Rolling hills on the Peninsula leading to the Big Lake
Children’s books about the Legend of the Sleeping Bear that make me weep in the Horizon Books downtown (yes, like a baby..that story gets me!)
Wearing flip flops everywhere
The cool neighbors on Balsam Circle that say hi, bring the dogs bones and look out for each other.
Building 50…improving and changing everytime I visit.
Peegeo’s for pizza on a chilly night
Gin and Tonic by the fire….
(hmmm..can you tell it’s been unseasonably cold…many entries are about staying warm!)

I just heard about your site from my daughter. We are Canadians and discovered the Traverse City area on our first Mother-Daughter vacation four years ago and have fallen in love with the area. We stay at the Hampton Inn and just drive around enjoying the great scenery (we’ve been from Elberta to Alden), great beaches, great places to eat and we come back year after year. Thanks for reminding me of being the only two on a windy beach at Elberta, eating at Trick Dog Cafe, canoeing down the Platte River, beautiful Crystal Lake, calling home from a public phone at the beach at Empire, seeing the great views from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park, the Good Harbor Grill in Glen Arbour, the many lighthouses and the trip to Northport and down to Traverse City, the drive around Old Mission, the wineries (and forgetting there is a limit to how many bottles we could take back across the border), the great little town of Alden, the incredible green of the lakes everywhere and especially Traverse City itself – the great places to eat and walk around and wonder. Spending a rainy day in Borders, just browsing. Discovering Building 50 in a book and then driving to find it. (We never were brave enough to go inside). The Horizon Bookstore where I bought the Legend of the Sleeping Bear book to read to my niece and crying when I did. You are lucky to live there.
