3/6/2021 Waterloo, MI A mile and a half was not enough. Gob needs more adventure. And he can’t wait until tomorrow. Thankfully, Mason is up for another pit stop as long as it’s on the way home. Enter, Waterloo. It was on my schedule for tomorrow anyway (don’t tell but I wasn’t planning to takeContinue reading “Waterloo State Recreation Area”

Meridian-Baseline State Park
3/6/2021 Pleasant Lake, MI Gob has a bad case of the zoomies. He’s had them for the past few days. So finally with a day off from work, I must fulfill my promise and take him on an adventure. Mason asks to tag along. He must also have some zoomies to get out. Our firstContinue reading “Meridian-Baseline State Park”
W.J. Hayes State Park
2/22/2021 Onsted, MI Tired of Gob moping and pouting that he had missed our last adventure, I agreed to take him for a little trip of his own. He insisted on his own frozen lake adventure, but 2 days and 200 miles south, the ice proved to be too thin. As puddles formed in ourContinue reading “W.J. Hayes State Park”
Turnip Rock
2/20/2021 Port Austin, MI I had a last minute substitution. Poor Gob’s little paws don’t hold up to the frigid temperatures and deep snow (especially when he won’t keep his shoes on). He sure does love to roll in it though…Mason steps in, promising to keep his shoes on. He inquires about the temperature asContinue reading “Turnip Rock”
Sleeper State Park
2/20/2021 Caseville, MI I guess this is Michigan’s take on “white sand dunes” – at least in the winter. A quick hop over the pedestrian bridge, and we were transported to trails and campsites. I imagine this to be the perfect weekend getaway when it’s warm and sunny. The campground has an adorable lending libraryContinue reading “Sleeper State Park”
Maybury State Park
2/14/2021 Northville, MI It is once again cold and snowy. But it would appear that the rest of the world is sick of staying inside. The parking lot is packed. Lots of groups of hikers. A few people with dogs. Even some bikers with snow tires braving the elements. Our main goal of this adventureContinue reading “Maybury State Park”
Proud Lake Rec Area
1/24/2021 Commerce Township, MI Snowflakes glitter to the ground as the sunlight hits, barely peaking through the grey clouds above. Gob hops out of the car, immune to the tiny snowballs growing between his toes. Meanwhile I am so bundled up that only the skin around my eyes is being kissed by the cold. ItContinue reading “Proud Lake Rec Area”
Grand Mere State Park
1/16/2021 Stevensville, MI A mere 15 minutes from our winter wonderland we are transported to a sandy beach devoid of snow. You would hardly believe it was January so long as you stay out of the water. One Gander said it best, “It’s January and I’m hunting rocks!” Interested in checking out this park? FindContinue reading “Grand Mere State Park”
Warren Woods State Park
1/16/2021 Sawyer, MI A partially frozen wonderland is Gobs perfect playground. It’s near impossible to overheat when at any moment you can stop for a roll in the snow. Not to mention the water is still splashable. Added bonus, there are far fewer strangers out and about to get in the way of his freedom.Continue reading “Warren Woods State Park”
Belle Isle State Park
April 2, 2022 Detroit, MI I have returned for a brief view of some exhibits. The aquarium (not pictured) and the botanical garden. Enjoy some flowers! 1-11-2021 COVID has kept me away from the city. I was saving this park for a day that I could go into the different exhibits, but I fear thatContinue reading “Belle Isle State Park”
