2Lads and a Detour

Of course, we had to visit 2Lads winery on vacation.

You just can’t beat their view...

...which is what keeps drawing us back.

The interior is just as cool as the building and the view; the man and I like the ambiance.

Check out the bar; those are aluminum shavings. How cool is that?

The wine is pretty good as well. I ordered a flight so I could sample the different varieties.

The Cabernet Franc was my favorite, so my lady and I ordered a glass and a cheese plate and went to sit at a table to enjoy our wine and each other.

look how beautifully arranged the cheese plate is

While sitting at the table enjoying our wine and cheese, we noticed a table ad about a local brewery called the Jolly Pumpkin. Us men are all about various micro brews, so we went to check it out. It was kind of hard to find, hidden among the trees.

Unfortunately, it turned out to be a restaurant that served microbrewed beer instead of a brewery, and the place was packed. We didn’t feel like waiting for a table, so we decided to head over to visit Traverse City. This was probably for the best, as I had a bit too much wine at 2Lads.

We ended up taking this scary, one lane back rode as a shortcut to Traverse City. I feared we would never reach Traverse City.

But somehow, someway, we did find our way back onto the big highway. We made it to TC just fine. And that my, friends, will be another post for another day.
