BIFF Weekend Getaway

What do two married women, who are best friends, workaholics (at work & home), and moms have in common?

They need a weekend away once in a freakin' while. 

So what do they do?

...Go to the most beautiful place in northern Michigan, party like they're 21 and shop until their husbands call and threaten to cut them off. (Yes that happened). Eeeek! 

Sounds like fun, right? 

TOTES.

My BIFF and I went on our little vaca and had an amazing time. We shopped, ate amazing food and drank the best selection of wines East of Napa Valley. 

Saturday consisted of lots and lots and LOTS of shopping, exploring cute little shops and dreaming of buying everything organic and natural for our babies, the cutest toys and new decor for our houses... Eating the most amazing wraps and nachos, yummy beers and fresh iced teas, and going to a winery with a breathtaking view of the vineyards.

We went down to the beach, took some amazing pictures of the water and enjoyed our peace and quiet - although that peace and quiet really consisted of talking all about our babies that weren't with us - and how much we missed their sweet cheeks every time we saw a family together.

Sunday we slept in until 9:00 AM - WHAT?! - yep. 

It was amazing. 

So we spent most of our morning at this amazing little place in town for breakfast. If you ever go to Traverse .... or live within 5 hours of there it's so worth it to go! On a beautiful sunny, warm Sunday morning we sat outside under little lanterns and trees and literally ate until we wanted to explode. 

Look at this - if this isn't heaven I don't know what the F is. 

• Blueberry pancakes = to die for. 
• Fruit salad (pears and apples and grapes... and strawberries, and almonds ... all on top of banana bread drizzled with raspberry sauce and some other sweet yogurt tasting creamy goodness). and ... no, they didn't hire me to write their menu. 

Seriously... Click here - The Towne Plaza

Just don't drool on your phone or laptop while you read the menu.

Oh, and I almost forgot. Here's our iced coffee that was more of a cool looking science expiriment... But this is the kind you can actually drink! HOW COOL IS THAT? :) We felt like kids.

After we had a blast at breakfast and thanked out server a million times for the amazing food and service we headed right downtown to the beach... sprayed the crap out of our skin with tanning oil with a little SPF in it and layed in the sun listening to some PitBull and Sean Paul. 

Ha. 

Perfection! 

After an amazing time in the sun we grabbed some yummy wraps and flatbreads for lunch at a local deli and hit the road for a long but interesting ride home. The ride home was definitely filled with road rage, yelling at idiots and bumpin' to top hits. 

Now I'm exhausted but we are home to our hubbies and littles. We left the most beautiful place ever but we are full of some amazing memories, a pretty good tan, my shelf has yummy wine on it and my husband has his favorite fudge, my daughter has a cute little hoodie and I have an amazingly soft, warm hoodie too!

Until next time... 

XO!

Peace out TC.
