30 Hours in Harbor Country

This past weekend we were lucky enough to be invited by some friends to a lake house in Harbor Country, Michigan. The weather was perfect. When we arrived on Saturday the waves on Lake Michigan were similar to waves I’ve seen in San Diego. We had a major boogie-board session, it was awesome.

After a day on the beach we were ready for our evening festivities, starting with a tour of Journeyman Distillery in Three Oaks.

Journeyman Distillery is a small-batch spirits organic distillery that recently opened last fall. The space is located in an old feather bone factory and is restored beautifully. We were able to sample their white and aged rye whiskey, rum and gin. My favorite was the aged rye whiskey… {More on this later, a post on details of tour to follow}

After the tour, we enjoyed a relaxing evening of grilling, campfire and sunset at the beach.

Morning time meant business. We headed straight to P & E Mullins: Local, a sustainable food and cured meats shop to get their famous Sunday Morning Bacon Jam. While we were there we also thought it would be a great idea to get a pound of bacon to accompany our breakfast pancakes. It was probably the best idea we made all day. Hey, we were on vacation right? When in Harbor Country... 30 hours may seem short, but I love these little 30 hour weekend trips, just enough time to relax and get away.
