Petoskey, Michigan

Our last stop was Petoskey which is right off Lake Michigan and what a beautiful town this is.   It is a resort area.  There is water skiing, snow skiing, boating etc. 

It was very windy here today.  Janet says it is almost always this way.  The waves were just beautiful....almost looked like the ocean waves.   Enjoy the pictures....

Beautiful lake houses...
