Little Sable Point Lighthouse

This weekend, Boyfriend and I drove up to Grand Haven again to visit with my sister and her boyfriend. It's so gorgeous up there! I'm hoping someday we will eventually move there. On Friday we ended up taking a short drive up to Shelby, MI to see the Little Sable Point Lighthouse. We all had so much fun! It was located at the end of a dead-end drive of a state park. It was so tall! You could see it over the trees before you even got to it.

There was a total of 130 steps to get to the top. It actually wasn't that bad, it was the getting down part that I didn't want to think about. I'm afraid of heights and all I could think about was falling down all the stairs haha. But we ended up doing just fine. 

The view from the top was gorgeous! We had such perfect weather. I loved that it was in the low 80's all weekend. The breeze at the top was surprisingly warm (I was expecting it to be cold) so we stayed up there for a while just taking it all in and enjoying the view of Lake Michigan.

I hope you enjoyed your weekend! I can't wait to visit more lighthouse around Michigan...there are literally hundreds of them :)

Mail!

I love getting mail, it's so exciting! Last night when I got home from class this beauty was waiting for me. Thanks to the Canada post strike, shipping was delayed but it was so worth the wait! Thank you Lauren Elan for keeping me updated along the way!

When I won this bracelet from Sydney's giveaway I couldn't wait to get it. At first it took me a while just to believe that I was in fact the winner! I can't wait to wear it with a cute outfit! Maybe I'll wear it when I do my 'ten down' post... which should be coming up soon by the way!!!

Five Things I Love

I first saw these over at Atlantic-Pacific and then Sydney over at The Daybook got them. Now I'm in love with them. Haha.

Downtown Ann Arbor

This weekend, most of my time was spent in downtown Ann Arbor. I have never been downtown before and I met a friend in one of my photography classes who knows her way around the city. I met up with her on Saturday after I picked up my camera and we went straight to the farmers market.  I loved seeing the fresh fruits and vegetables along with handmade things from the locals.

I couldn't believe how busy the city was. In most downtown areas the streets are dead but here there were packs and packs of people. I loved it! We had fun walking the streets and seeing new things (well new to me anyways). I didn't even know that there was a Ben & Jerry's store! I'm so going back there sometime to get ice cream!

On Sunday I met up with my friend again but this time Boyfriend came along as well. One of the things that I didn't get to see on Saturday was graffiti alley. I've heard about it before from other classmates but everything's different in real life. It's just covered everywhere with graffiti and there's even this "gum wall" that's covered in gum and has been painted over. The graffiti is always changing so I'd like to go back there again to see what people have done.

We also went back to this place called Zingerman's. It first opened in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1982 and since then it has become one of the country's leading specialty food stores. It's so cute inside! In the front there is a counter where you can purchase your choosing of bread and in the back there is a deli where you can get delirious meats and sandwiches and their shelves are covered with ingredients from all over the world. You can experience everything from corned beef and noodle kugel, to hand-picked Kalamata olives, to hand made croissants and pretty much everything in between.

And just because I don't think I've posted a picture of him before, here is Boyfriend along one of my favorite brick walls in Ann Arbor  : )
