Oh…and is that some sort of a donut with bacon on it? It really looks like it!

And…..where can I find those donuts?! Donuts, s’mores, and alcohol, what more could you ask for on vacation? Oh yeah, to eat them while looking fabulous in a bikini. That would be nice. ;)

We stay in Boyne City because it’s where my dad’s family is from. We rent condos at The Harborage which is right on lake charlevoix – if you are interested shoot me an email through the contact form because you have to go through a rental agency and I’ll give you the deets! The donuts are from the Boyne farmer’s market.

Now I’m hungry and thirsty and I want new shoes! Great pics!

Your husband is hawt! And YOU are so pretty! And your pictures, whoah! Really nice photo dump :) love the sun pictures, ah!

Your photos are lovely – the ones with the sky and water are absolutely gorgeous. Can I ask what iPhone app you’re using to edit your photos? I use SnapSeed and instagram but neither bring out colors as well.
Love your blog,
Cecilia
