During years of urban and suburban living, my wife Heather and I would look for chances to escape to our “happy place.” When the stress became too much and we just needed a moment to catch our breath and spend time in nature, we’d head north.

Most often, Traverse City, Michigan, was our destination. We would spend a long weekend recharging, hiking the trails and exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes, eating fresh food, and breathing in the crisp air.
