30l Nichols St. ...Downtown Charlevoix

We are so blessed! The Steve and Kathy invited us, and Jack and Cathy, to Charlevoix to hang out for the week. We stayed in a beautiful home one block from Lake Michigan and the downtown area. It was a week of relaxation and renewing!!

The first day we rode our bikes from Charlevoix to Petoskey on the bike trails. It was a 30 mile breathtaking ride along Lake Michigan. We stopped at Bay Valley to have breakfast at the Pancake House. Delicious!

Riding along Lake Michigan...Brrrrr....

We finished our ride in downtown Petoskey. We ran into several friends from FlintTown. It was fun seeing everyone there! :) That evening we watched the sun set into Lake Michigan. Amazing!

The next day Craig, Steve, Kathy, and David Leyton went golfing. Jack, Cathy, and I went shopping downtown Charlevoix. What a sweet, inviting little village! A highlight of our time in Charlevoix was being able to sail on the Neumann's boat. Eight of us boarded on their sailboat and traveled into Lake Charlevoix and Lake Michigan. The water was tourquoise and the clouds looked like giant puffy pillows. They even opened the downtown bridge for us to pass through! It was amazing!!!

The bridge opened for US!! Ahhh...

Craig and I are very blessed! Our friends are special and dear to us!! They are the kind of friends that could sit together on a porch, never saying a word, but we'd walk away feeling like we'd just had the best conversation! Love them! :)
