Fall Michigan Trip Recap

Happy Wednesday friends!

I’m finally back in action after our fall trip we both came back under the weather so I’ve been recovering but finally almost 100% again so I wanted to share a break down of what we did on our fall getaway in Michigan. I’m sharing where we ate and what we did for any of you looking for a fall trip this is it!


Friday was a travel day for us, we didn’t get into town until late evening but we had to stop at Meijer for all our essentials before getting to our Airbnb.

Saturday we did a lot around South Haven, MI. We went shopping downtown and stopped at some of our favorite local shops. We also grabbed lunch at Taste which is one of our favorites while we’re in town. We visited my grandmother for a little bit then drove down to the pier to see some of the beautiful leaves and soak in all the views. From there we went to Waypost Brewing so Travis could try some new beers and again the views were everything. This is a great spot if you like breweries and a super chill vibe. To finish off our day we grabbed some food at The Southerner which did not disappoint!

On Sunday we spent time explored Douglas/Saugatuck MI. We grabbed some photos on the patio in the morning because it was so nice out. From there we checked out Saugatuck Brewing Co before we ventured into town and wondered around the shops there. We then grabbed pizza from Maria’s in South Haven to visit again with my grandmother and then finished the night with Sherman’s Ice Cream, a must no matter the season!

Monday was our last day in town before we left that evening. We woke up early to take some couples photos (coming soon to the blog) before we had an early lunch at the Farmhouse Deli in Douglas. I can’t recommend taking all the photos on vacation, capture those memories! From there we spent more time in South Haven, grabbed a drink and walked around before we headed to the airport!

Overall it was an amazing trip, too short before so amazing and fun and great to finally see fall foliage!

Michigan Trip

Happy Wednesday friends!

We just got back from Michigan and I wanted to share some of the fun things we did and restaurants we went to!

This is my first trip out of state since the pandemic and I was a little anxious but everything went fine travel wise. This is a trip we usually make twice a year and hadn’t been in almost a year and a half due to everything going on.

This trip was mostly to see family so when we weren’t visiting family and hanging out we did a few fun activities and went to a few yummy restaurants that are definitely worth mentioning!

First off if you are in the Saugatuck, MI area I would definitely check out The Summerhouse Lavender Garden. This is a beautiful photo worthy spot and just super cute and peaceful! Highly recommend! There is also a wild flower field at Pleasant Hill Farm in Fennville not far as well which is super cute and great to take photos!

Next up we tried some new yummy food spots that I would highly recommend! Root Cafe in Fennville was a great spot for a delicious sandwich and fun art from local artists. Also The Farmhouse Deli in Douglas had amazing food, including salads, soup, baked goods, and sandwiches. I would also recommend checking out Isabel’s Market Eatery in Douglas and local to South Haven I would recommend the Taste and Maria’s great restaurants there! Of course a must have in South Haven is also Sherman’s Ice Cream, make sure to hit this spot for dessert a few times while you visit!

Finally make sure to take advantage of the amazing summer weather in Michigan and get outside! We spent so much time outside it was nice and peaceful! Catch all the sunsets and enjoy a walk outside! Enjoy the flowers and all the colors because there is seriously nothing like it!
