TRAVEL AND WANDER

In February I plan on having more posts on my TRAVEL WORLD site. There are still lots of countries to learn about; Russia, Switzerland, Thailand, and South Africa to name a few. Thank You!

Northern Michigan encompasses a broad range of landmass. Not to be missed is the unique  Upper Peninsula which is a world of its own. One of the grandest Great Lakes  (Lake Superior) is located in the Upper Peninsula. On the Lower Peninsula of Michigan in the Northwest corner of the state lies a popular city known as Traverse City. Traverse City like much of America this winter is experiencing heavy snowfall and lots of cold weather but that doesn't stop the locals and tourists from enjoying all the attractions the area has  to offer. Below is a list of activities to enjoy and melt away the winter blues. If you like to ski than Shanty Creek Resort and Mount Holiday Ski and Recreation area are the answer to downhill skiing. Hickory Hills is a popular place to ski too. You always have a chance to play and win at Turtle Creek Casino or Leelanau Sands Casino. Over on Front Street in downtown Traverse City  you can warm up in the historic State Theater  and watch first run movie

                                                      HAPPY 2014 It's the new year of 2014 and I wish I could make plans to travel again BUT right now I'm working two jobs and keeping busy in Traverse City, Michigan. I moved here a few months ago to take care of my Mother and although it snows here practically everyday I really do like Traverse City. I'm currently living right in Downtown Traverse City and I have really learned to navigate my way around this northern Michigan outdoor's paradise. I learned that Traverse City is a a foodie's town. In fact Traverse City attracts a lot of amazing chefs that work magic in the kitchen... there's even a famous chef that summers not far from Traverse City. The Upper Peninsula is famous for making pasties and here in Traverse City you too can enjoy some homemade pasties at Cousin Jennies  and Lehto's.  For a taste of France without the jet lag Amical serves up specialities like chicken pot pie, French onio
