We were able to find a pretty good package deal at a hotel. It was their Wine & Dine package and included 2 nights stay in a King Bed room with a whirlpool tub, 2 breakfasts, free wine tasting and bottle of wine of choice, $50 gift card to local restaurant, late check out of 1pm on Sunday and 2 free DVD rentals (we finally watched the Blind Side!! Such a great movie).
We had a great weekend. We arrived in TC around 6pm on Friday night. Thanks to my sister Julie for staying home with Emily for the weekend!! We had the best dinner ever on Saturday night at the Apache Trout Grill in TC on the bay. If you are ever in TC, I highly suggest stopping by. It is beautifully decorated in an outdoor/hunting lodge theme and overlooks the bay. We both ended up having the prime rib and crab leg meal. It seriously was the best prime rib and crab legs we have ever had! No lie!
It was nice to be able to stay up late and sleep in. We even took a nap on Saturday before dinner!
We spent most of Saturday driving up both Peninsula's, exploring and doing several wine tastings. We also checked out 2 lighthouses. The drive was beautiful.
It was one of our best weekends away and felt like a 2nd honeymoon! Thinking we might go back up next year since there is so much to do in the area.
Here are some of the pics I took while away!
We stayed for 2 nights at the Grand Beach Resort on Grand Traverse Bay!
The hotel was beautiful and very clean.
The beach was awesome!
I love the nautical feel with blues and greens.
We had a King Bed with a huge Whirlpool Tub in our room!!
We went for our first Wine Tasting ever at Black Star Farms on the Leelanau Peninsula on Saturday!
Black Star Farms...So beautiful!! I love all the red barns!
The drive in was beautiful with all the grapevines on the hill.
Tasting Room! We both found a wine that we really love! We got to take home our wine glasses that we sampled our wine in.
They have a B&B on their property. So gorgeous. We would love to stay here sometime.
We visited 2 lighthouses....

I love weekend getaways. They are the perfect way to reconnect.
Isn't it beautiful up there?! I'd love to go back and wine taste again...there are SO many places to taste up there!
The photos are beautiful. It's pretty obvious that you had a great time. Thank you for sharing.
