Photos From Michigan - Petoskey

Just when we thought we couldn’t find a cuter town in Michigan . . . we arrived in Petoskey late Wednesday afternoon.  It only has a population of around 8,000 but is a popular vacation spot during the summer months.  One of the largest resort areas in called The Inn at Bay Harbor.  We drove around and admired the view of Little Traverse Bay and all of the beautiful homes.  Besides hotel accommodations there are also condos and housing developments in the area. 

The streets reminded me a little of “ Wisteria Lane” . . . but with a better view. Jeff’s favorite part of the resort area was The Original Pancake House.  He ordered the famous “Big German” and managed to eat {almost} the entire thing.  He wasn’t smiling quite as big after the meal.

We stayed in Petoskey three nights and spent the majority of our evenings having dinner at one of the local restaurants and then driving around town admiring all of the old homes.  Street after street was lined with old two-story homes that all seem to be in immaculate condition.

We found this little baseball field tucked away in one of the old neighborhoods. 

I couldn’t resist this photo . . . notice the sign and the doghouse?!?!

I thought this was a neat view of the Little Traverse Bay.  It was such a peaceful night and there were so many people out walking and riding their bikes. Downtown Petoskey . . . our favorite spot was the Traverse Pie Company.  Each day we enjoyed a bowl of soup and split a piece of cherry crumb pie.
