We started off with a trip to Esch beach. It was a bit crowded but the beach was amazing. The beach had a great view of the Empire Bluffs. We hung out a the beach for a while relaxing and wading in Lake Michigan. We saw a cast of hawks swarming the skies over the bluffs. It must have been feeding time.
After a great time at the beach, we headed North to see the scenic drive by the Sleeping Bear Dunes. It was a beautiful drive with stops along the way. The highlight was the dune overlooking Lake Michigan. It was a bit hazy but the view was still incredible! We finished the day with dinner in Leelanau.
