Recently I was in Hull Park In Traverse City and decided to take a few photos since it was such a beautiful day.  Hull Park is right behind the public library.

3 Br home near a lot of state land

I just listed a great home in the country.  It is about 5 miles from downtown Interlochen and would be great for anybody looking for property near state land.  The home is in great shape, has a 2+ car garage and a paved driveway.  For more information go to:   www.realestateone.com/1717042


There is a ton of wildlife in the area.  The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet.  It is a great place to live.

Learning how to sail at the Traverse Area Community Sailing Center

My boys are learning how to sail at the Traverse Area Community Sailing Center located on the Boardman Lake in Traverse City.

I cannot say enough good things about this non-profit organization.  The cost of instruction is incredibly reasonable.  I calculated the cost of my son's two week course equates to under $6 per hour.

You can check out the various programs available at the school at the following link:

The counselors are extremely patient and very knowledgeable about sailing.

The only drawback is now my sons want me to purchase their own sail boat.

National Cherry Festival 2010

I hope everybody was able to get out this week and attend the National Cherry Festival.  For those new to the area the Cherry Festival is Traverse City's premier event.  This year it is from 3-10 July. 

This weekend the US Navy Blue Angels thrilled everybody with their aerial acrobatics.  Later you could listen to music at the Bay Side music stage or watch a cherry pit spitting contest.

There is a little of everything for everybody at the festival.  Childrens' events, car shows, arts and crafts fairs, bake sales, the Midway, and even a beer tent for the adults.

Fife Lake--The Best 4th In the North!

This 4th of July my son and I went to see the fireworks at Fife Lake, Michigan.  They did a great job as usual.  I think this is the 4th year in a row that we have attended the Independence Day celebration at Fife Lake.  The locals like it because they do not have to fight the traffic to Traverse City and the fireworks display is truly impressive.

Of course, my favorite place is the Fife Lake Dairy Bar.  That place has the BEST soft serve ice cream and they have a couple dozen great flavors. 

Fife Lake is an all-sports lake just off US-131 and about 30 minutes southeast of Traverse City.  It has a nice sandy beach and a public boat launch. 

I have a couple properties listed out in the Fife Lake area: www.realestateone.com/1709331  and also www.realestateone.com/1707985 .
