Day 5: Beaches and Beers in Petosky

Today was a moving day.
Mom originally booked us at the Petosky KOA
but it has since become the Petosky Jellystone.
A new brand of parks to us!
Turns out, it was awesome.
Pickleball courts, all sorts of kids activities,
and some awesome cabins with double-decker decks.
We might have to come back here!

Mom, being Mom,
was determined to make the most out of our day.
So on the road,
she and Dad made a plan.
Turns out our campsite
was just a short ride to the beach.
And there's a BREWERY on the way.
It's like it was meant to be.

So we had lunch

and set out on an amazingly well-maintained bike trail

to land at Petosky State Park.

The weather was perfect.
We could have dug all day.

Jack was relentless.
He LOVES building in the sand.

We splashed and played
and dug
and Mom and Dad spent hours looking for
Petosky stones.
Shockingly, MOM found 3 or 4 little ones
(but forgot the picture--ask her to see them!)
Dad was skunked.
That never happens.

We definitely didn't want to go,
but our brewery is closing soon

so we stopped for one last picture

and one last look at the lake
before we set out for the brewery.
Mom and Dad still couldn't believe
we stumbled upon
this path, this beach, and this restaurant
right next to our camp.

It was a lovely night
for a ride

Mom was so excited to try out all her new bike lights
Not bad for a day planned on the fly!
