Is This Like Florida?

Sugar white sand beaches and warm temperatures?? Wait a minute! That's not sugar white sand. It's SNOW!!

See what happens when your mind gets frozen and the sun doesn't shine!

Anyway, we went for a ride today to see some winter scenery, but before we got very far north of Traverse City it started snowing and then it started REALLY SNOWING!! Pretty soon it was a blizzard and then almost whiteout conditions. Needless to say we cut our sightseeing off and turned around. We went back to T.C. where it was a little less snowy and went in to the Grand Traverse Pie Company downtown and had lunch and a great piece of pie. That beat fighting the roads any day!!

Before we went home we took a hike on the trail out of Glen Arbor and enjoyed the winter landscape. Hope you do too.

A view across Sleeping Bear Bay towards Glen Haven and the Sand Dunes. Notice the sugar white sand on the beach!!
