Cherry Festival- Traverse City, MI (7-5-11)

                                                                       Traverse City is high on our list of favorite Lake Michiganplaces right now.  In fact, it’s high on our list of places we could see ourselves  living- but only six months of the year!  I really wouldn’t want to spend the winters here, but who wouldn’t want to wake up to this view every morning?
  


Of course one of the first things we had to do when we arrived in Traverse City was to eat Cherry Pie.  In fact we’ve already done that several times this week, Cherry Pie Ala Modeand I doubt we’re done.  We also got some fresh cherries but since the spring has been so bad, the cherries were brought in from further south- the Traverse City cherries are not ripe yet.
We’ve wandered the grounds of the festival and enjoyed the music, the food and the carnival atmosphere.
July 4th here reminded me a lot of July 4 back in Boston.  The fireworks are set off from a barge out in the harbor, which means people can enjoy them both from the shore and from boats.
