We booked a car and headed out to the wilds of Michigan for a classic summertime day trip which included sandy bathing suits, ice cream and...looking at Paul McCobb tables. The latter part of the equation was provided by Retro Modern in Saugatuck, along with plenty of other mid-c pieces to peruse.

I can't resist mentioning two great place to eat in the area (where my guy and I honeymooned last October). We're headed up to Beulah, Michigan, for vacation next week and will be making stops at both of these treasures either on the approach or the return!

Everyday People is yummy and only a little decadent. We ate there twice in five days and savored eat bite. It's in Douglas.

Oh wow, the Journeyman is amazing! Breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They have great, warm service, and possibly the best bread I have ever had in my life - seedy salt bread, which may be the ideal bread for sour cherry spreads. In Fennville, it's a short and lovely drive from Douglas/Saugatuck.

Finally, if you're staying overnight, the guys who run the Pines Motor Lodge are wonderful. We holed up at one of their cottages and had a lovely time.

another great place is red arrow highway in the new buffalo/lakeside/harbert area, which is just about an hour from the city. lakeside antiques has some amazing (but expensive) furniture. definitely stop in a lovell & whyte. with some determination, we've found some great stuff at dunes antique center in sawyer. it's a wonderful area to spend a day exploring. . .joe jackson's market should be up and running with tons of fresh fruit and the sawyer garden center is also a great stop. if you do head out to three oaks and happen to be around in the evening, catch an indie movie at the vickers theatre. and of course, with all that shopping, you're sure to be hungry! i'd highly recommend brewsters in new buffalo and cafe gulistan in harbert. st. joseph is about 20 mins. north of that area, but (in my humble opinion) is the most amazing place to watch the sunset from. if you go, say hello to our old house on state street for us ;) looking forward to an update on your next trip! jhayne on Jun 28, 2007
