One of my favorite vacation days included a lot of driving. We decided to drive up the Leelanau Peninsula and then over to Leland. It was gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Along the way, we stopped at one more vineyard that we happened across called Gill's Pier Vineyard & Winery. We bought a bottle of the Icebox Apple Wine...made with Michigan apples, of course!
After more driving, we headed over to Leland which is so cute. How have I never heard about the Historic Fishtown in Leland? It was darling. A couple of people had suggested eating at the Cheese Shanty in Leland so we made our way there for lunch. It's a tiny little deli located in Fishtown. I wasn't sure I'd be a fan of the pretzel bread when I ordered my sandwich, but it was sooo good.
Since we were playing things by ear, we decided to find a beach where we could spend the rest of the day. We headed South towards Sleeping Bear Dunes knowing that we'd find a great beach along the way. We ended up at North Bar Lake, which was such a perfect little spot to stumble upon. It's a cute little inland lake that sits right next to Lake Michigan. We took a short walk over the dunes to spend the day at Lake Michigan. The weather was perfect and the water was warm. I wish I had taken a picture at the beach! Swimming and laying on the beach = A perfect day!
