Today was another easy, cool day of riding. It was one of our shortest planned days, so we took our time and enjoyed the ride. We rode mostly back roads, avoiding pretty much all highways of any kind, and saw a lot of Michigan farmland and some more gorgeous coastline.
We stopped for lunch at a great little place called the Boathouse Grill. We sat out on the deck overlooking the river and had a delicious lunch. Then after gassing up the bike, we hit the road again.
Knowing we had time to spare, we also stopped for an ice cream break and then found a little winery right along our route! We had a quick tasting, making friends with both the woman giving us the tasting and two other couples who joined in, all of whom were from Chicago! They gave us great advice on sights to see and routes to take for our trip to the windy city. We bought two great bottles of wine which Jay amazingly squeezed into the boxes on the bike, and away we went again.
One last stop was to a grocery store for dinner supplies before arriving at tonight's home, Muskegon State Park. Though not quite as well kept or equipped as our last state park, our site is right on Lake Muskegon (a lake right next to Lake Michigan), so we can't complain (c: We had a great campfire dinner of baked potatos, beans, green beans, steak kabobs for Jay, a salmon burger for me, and of course our delicious Michigan wine.
Now it's early to bed and off to Chicago bright and early tomorrow!
