If you want to get away from the rat race, try a visit to
Petoskey (http://www.petoskey.com). Last
weekend, when I was there, the weather was perfect. This photograph of Little
Traverse Bay was taken from a table at the Palette Bistro restaurant (http://palettebistropetoskey.com).
After lunch, we explored the Petoskey Marina and walked out
on the pier.
Some young people were diving off the end of the pier, but I
decided to skip that activity. Apparently, this bear was not afraid to jump:
Later we stopped by the Little Traverse History Museum
(http://www.petoskeymuseum.org), which was well worth the small admission. In
addition to perusing the fine collection of Hemingway photographs and books, I
learned about the history of the Petoskey area.
And, of course, there was shopping. One of my favorite stores is Cutler’s (http://www.cutlersonline.com), a store
devoted to unique kitchen items and gifts.

It all made me want to just sail away.
