"Do little things with great love."

I took this idea to heart when I read it scribbled in chalk on the bathroom wall at a coffee shop yesterday. We visited Brew, which has excellent $1 cups of coffee, in Traverse City.

Even long, incredible days in grand places consist of numerous small moments to appreciate.

Sammy is loving this journey!

Arduous hike!

Lake Michigan!

We went to Sleeping Bear Dunes. Awesome. We only made it halfway to the lake climbing the mounds of sand (the mini-dunes were seemingly endless). It was a big hike for us and we had been craving the exercise.  

Such a great expanse of space to admire.

We went on a scenic drive as well, and there were unbelievable views. By the lake, the wind was fierce and the tiny specks of sand were  needles on our skin.
