Suffice it to say there was a lot of driving...over 2,000 miles, all told. We stayed at a lake house in Petoskey, Michigan, with other family members. Good times! It was low-key but fun, and we all actually got along. My two kids had counterparts their own ages, which helped keep everyone happy.
In knitting news, I did get to visit three yarn shops! Two of the three were definite winners. One was even attached to a bakery! They were well stocked and I could have spent way more time there than others were willing to tolerate. My purchases were few--a couple of patterns, plus some Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport--but it was a treat just to take it all in. Actual knitting time was limited (I can only tolerate a bit of car knitting) so my progress was far less than I'd anticipated. I think I need a new project, other than socks, to jump-start my knitting mojo again. Maybe once I recover from the vacation I'll be back on the knitting track!

Based on the photos it looks like a wodnerful vacation. The lake is always so nice!
Forget about the sandy beach and sun - A YARN STORE ATTACHED TO A BAKERY!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Michigan, here I come!
Beautiful montage of time well spent. Take a slow, soft landing back into reality.
It looks so relaxing there! Go slowly with your re-entry... it can be tough, especially after such a lovely trip.
I have been to that shop as well. I have been to most of the shops up there, but it is not such a drive - we live in Ann Arbor. We usually stay in Harbor Springs which also has a small shop. It is a good thing the shop is small because I usually have other things on my mind – like Tom's Mom's cookies! I think I gained a pound just thinking about them.

I thought that was "my" lighthouse! (I live six blocks up the hill.) Glad you discovered The Dutch Oven---it's heaven-on-earth for No. Michigan knitters: yarn, baked goods and a playground across the street. What more could a girl want!?
