My story with Manitou Beach is just beginning! It was truly love at first sight when I discovered the town for the first time. A scenario I like to call a “happy accident”, but has God’s hand all over it! The town has quickly become one of my favorite escapes and I couldn’t wait to share it with you.

My Guide to Ann Arbor: West Side
Whether your coming for a visit, passing through or even decided to attend the University of Michigan my wish is that these lists of my favorite spots in Ann Arbor help guide your way through the city that has been my playground all my life.

I had a recent girls day with Liz of With Wonder and Whimsy that was filled with photo shoots, shopping, lots of girl talk and lunch of course! I was in Liz’s neck of the woods and let her decide where we went in Downtown Northville. Liz took me to one of her favorites, Center Street Grille.
Traveling Vegetarian: Carlyle Grill
The Carlyle Grill in Ann Arbor has been my favorite restaurant since it opened, back when I was in high school. I’ve tried the majority of their menu, and what I haven’t tried members of my family have. For being my favorite, I don’t get to eat there much anymore. This was actually my first time back since becoming a vegetarian and boy was I happy!
Traveling Vegetarian: Everest Sherpa
Let me start off by disclaiming that I have never had Indian food before. I was going to dinner with my friend Andrea and she was craving Indian, so I thought why not try something new!?! We went to Everest Sherpa in Ann Arbor and it was such a fun environment, not to mention had delicious food! But I totally made her order for me!
