Day Trip Guide: Wine Tasting & Exploring the Old Mission Peninsula

This post is part two of a series detailing day trips and adventures you may be interested in taking around the Traverse City Area.

Today, the Old Mission Peninsula is known for wine – there are 11 wineries to visit. But there are also some neat historic sites and beautiful natural and scenic areas to see, which we incorporated into our trip.

The One Fall Color Tour You Must take in Northern Michigan

We spontaneously took this day trip a few October’s ago shortly after we moved to Michigan from Kenya. It was the first time I saw the leaves changing colors in 5 years and my husband’s first time ever!

This year, I’m planning to take my son on his own mini fall color tour – from the comfort of his stroller. For that, I’m going to head back to one (or all) of the parks I’ve written about here. He’s been really into trees ever since he first started to notice things around him. I imagine he’ll get a kick out of vibrant red, orange, and yellow hued leaves!
