We started off our day with a pleasant breakfast at the 1911 restaurant that is a part of the Inn (included in the price of our stay - yay!) Then we set off to find the Petoskey Farms Winery & Vineyards. There is a "trail" of wineries up in the area, which this one is a part of - something to bring us back exploring another time. We were determined to find ourselves a good bottle to ring in the new year, which we did! "Love" Sangria... how appropriate. :) It was a beautiful drive up to the winery and we were some of the first customers of the day, so we enjoyed a very private tasting.
We drove back sans-GPS for adventure and ended up in downtown Petoskey, where we meandered through shops and found some lunch at Jepeson's - a small diner that has been around for 112 years. After such strenuous work it was time for a nap before deciding how to celebrate our first New Years together! We found a gorgeous restaurant in Petoskey (Whitecaps) that was insanely delicious and then we headed up to the Boyne Highlands, a ski resort that was hosting some NYE events. We caught the torchlight ski parade down their main slope, which was beautiful, and their big fireworks show! Woohoo!
And now we are counting down the minutes until 2016... I am furiously writing to finish this blog project (reflective post to come... hopefully tomorrow?) and Collin is encouraging me by very purposely ignoring me. :P Ah, that's love. Haha. Time to turn on the Times Square broadcast and watch it in real time, open that sangria, and enjoy our first New Years Eve midnight kiss! <3 Looking forward to the many to come.
