Lake Michigan and Cherry Point Farm and Market

 I enjoyed watching the birds at the feeder Friday morning!  Took a quick walk around the property for some exercise and then it was time to pack up and head out early afternoon!  I had never seen Lake Michigan so we headed to Ludington!

What a cute town!  And was I ever surprised to see this huge sandy beach!!  Guess I always think of Michigan as a northern state with no beaches and cold water!  HA - shows you how much I know!  Anyway, there were quite a few people enjoying the beach and even in the water!

Patty slept in the back seat of the car while Teri and I walked out to the lighthouse - a nice walk!

And here's me standing by the lighthouse and I love that Teri caught the sailboat going by! We went into the little gift shop  but the top of the lighthouse was not open.

We went into downtown and parked so we could shop a little bit!  My Christmas ornament was bought along with a nice coffee mug with Michigan on it!

Next we headed to Cherry Point Farm and Market - gosh was this place nice!  Besides having lavender plants most of the way around this huge garden,  you could actually walk around most of these sections that were marked with what kind of plants were there!

This was the flower section - so pretty!

The bridge that takes you over to the gardens.

And me standing by the lavendar plants!

Their gift shop was quite busy and Teri picked up some lavendar products.  I bought 3 cherry turnovers to have with coffee the next morning! (and yes, they were excellent!!)

We headed back to Teri's GR house and spent the evening visiting.  Saturday was travel day and Patty and I both had flights to Denver and from there, she was headed back to Omaha!  I stopped at Jessi's place on the way home to get an adjustment but didn't stay long as wasn't feeling the best and I wanted to get home!  (Little did I know at the time that I actually had Covid as I tested Sunday night - darn - both girls tested also and we all 3 had it!!)

What a wonderful SISTERS trip - spent with the best 2 sisters ever!!
