There are a lot of wineries on the Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas to tour. The TART Trail is a nice paved bike trail that you can get on at the bay and runs about 10 miles in length. The Leelenau Trail is nice also and runs about 15 miles up the peninsula. My wife and I road both these trails last year while camping in the area. If you like gambling there's a casino in the area. There's some interesting shopping in the downtown section. If you see any, try the cherry bbq sauce that's made in the area. I bought a bottle and made bbq chicken on the grill. It was tasty.
Whatever you do, STAY AWAY from REED CITY (131 and 10). The most corrupt fake ticket writing city in Michigan! They target out-of-State plates knowing you are less likely to fight the ticket in Court.
Thanks all!
I WISH I could spend a day fishing... But there isn't the time. Plus my wife gets motion sickness (even on small boats in small lakes) + she doesn't have any interest in fishing. So - no fishing of any kind. :-(
I've been looking at locations of area wineries on Google Maps. Holy crap. There are probably 40 wineries within an hour of T.C. proper. AND there are about 5-6 gun shops within that same radius.
I think we may head up onto the peninsulas. Just drive around to wineries, see the Grand Traverse Lighthouse, just hang out together.
The old hospital property has been made into a kind of a shopping "commons" that looks neat. May head to see that. The Village at Grand Traverse Commons | Shopping, Dining & Living in Traverse City
