Exploring Benzie County! - Day 3

So yesterday I left you with my family and I heading to the Point Betsie Lighthouse. I will say that we lucked out and missed the little bit of rain that moved though, which was really nice.

We made our way North of Frankfort to the lighthouse, when we arrived, this was what we saw.

Our "Passport of Fun" package included 1 Free Tour, which was nice. After spending some time with the lighthouse we headed to the Gift Shop! We snagged a couple of souvenirs for the family Christmas tree later this year, and snapped a couple more pictures before heading out.

Here's one of my flying daughter and I.

Here's one of the whole family. (It's kind of hard to take a picture of yourself and get everything in the photo. Sorry lighthouse.)

Oh...and here's Lake Michigan from the lighthouse!

By the way...we found out that proceeds from everything purchased in the lighthouse gift shop go to help maintain and preserve the lighthouse. That's good stuff, so if you go...get something to help keep it around and looking good!

LUNCH TIME! Haven't had pizza in a while. Taking a look at the included map in our "Passport of Fun" we continued North and then headed East around Crystal Lake, which is honestly, one of THE MOST SPECTACULAR lakes I have ever seen. Talk about being jealous of those living on it!

Our trip around Crystal Lake landed us at quite a pizza joint, "A. Papano's Pizza"!

That have like 5 locations. Anyway...Our "Passport of Fun" rewarded us with some FREE bread-sticks. We ordered some pizza too, because, it's always nice to buy at least 1 thing with your free thing, right?

Amazingly enough, the FREE bread-sticks weren't your skimpy load of like 3 sticks and a thimble full of sauce...NO...this was a family order about the size of a large pizza, which Parmesan cheese and a light butter sauce on top...one word..DELICIOUS! Pizza was great too by the way!

Alright...With our tummies full once again...Time to head to the "Cherry Hut" for something "Cherry-Fied"! That and more tomorrow!
