Summer is in full swing, even up here in God's Country. I've begun truly enjoying the pleasures of Cadillac Michigan this last month and the last few days are the perfect example of why. Over the weekend we enjoyed camping and playing in the water of Interlochen's Green Lake. There was fishing, tubing, water skiing, a tour of the lake, and a stop at a nice beach where we hung out for hours. We all bring our finds from the local farmers markets, breweries and wineries. The kids play and the adults talk, finally outlasting the kids stamina. The women also enjoyed a shopping trip in Traverse City, which never disappoints! Monday evening after work, we drove back to Interlochen to enjoy Sheryl Crow and Colby Callait's performance at Interlochen's Center for the Arts. We floated with our friends behind the performance building...instead of the crowd of people that would have been seated around us in the concert hall we were surrounded with the soothing water. On Tuesday Cadillac's farmer's market began and the Rotary Pavilion (shown above) had an evening performance by the Jackpine Pickers. While the Rotary Pavilion's Tuesday night performances are the social event of the week for the senior community, my 4 year old son enjoys dancing to the music and I enjoy seeing the camaraderie of the locals. Both of Tuesday's activities are located downtown, next to the water. We're a city built around two beautiful lakes; the gateway to Up North. Everything I dream of for the perfect summer is at my fingertips and I can't wait to take it all in.
