Prepare yourselves for an ungodly amount of photos...this is how I spent my weekend
up north*:
The view Friday morning...stormy.
How we spent most of Friday and Saturday, by the fireplace drinking hot apple cider spiked with rum.
We had cabin fever on Saturday, so we went out for a late lunch at Pearl's Cajun restaurant.
There are bottles of hot sauce on every wall. This was my favorite.
The best cherry margarita.
My meal, the plantation platter: fried green tomato, red bean cake and cheddar mashed potatoes.
Cole's jambalaya and stout.
Cole feeling a bit iffy after enjoying too many libations on Friday.
Our dessert, beignets sundae with hot chocolate and caramel rum sauces.
Many views of the woods around the cottage:
My boys: Wellie (pug), Cole (husband) and Pip (chihuahua).
My parent's cottage road.

Sunday morning, the view from my bedroom window...sunny.
*As you noticed I used the term "up north" in this post and probably will in many posts to come. To anyone who lives (or grew up) in Michigan this term refers to Northern Michigan, but not the Upper Peninsula, which is simply known as "the U.P." I grew up in Southeast Michigan, went to college in Mid Michigan (MSU) and now, after five years of living in Boston, again live in Southeast Michigan.
