As the date to return back to school closed in I found
myself feeling more and more anxious; consumed with a sense of foreboding of the dysfunction and violence I will again have
to endure throughout the school year. I felt the urgent need to get away, not run away,
simply escape both mentally and physically…
to breathe…
I planned a last minute 4 day weekend for the hubby and I in
Traverse City, my go-to place when my mind and body tells me screams, “I
need a break!”
Day one: Old Mission Peninsula
 |
| Following the Quilt Barn Trail |
 |
| Mission Point Lighthouse |
 |
| Cairns built by tourists |
Day two: Northern Michigan
Asylum
 |
| Ghost are rumored to haunt here |
 |
| Entryway into patient's rooms |
 |
| Underground tunnel |
Day three: Petoskey stone hunting
 |
| The search |
 |
| Breathing space |
 |
Messages left behind
|
Day four: the drive home
An unexpected find: beautiful fields of sunflowers
Farewell… until next year.
