Ha! Two trips in a row, how fun!
Yes...It's me Jeremy, the overnight/web guy here at JQ99. My wife, daughter, and I went to the lovely city of Charlevoix (for the first time ever) this weekend, so that I could come to you all this week and recap the great time we had.
It was our first time to Charlevoix, and we weren't sure what to expect. Let me preface by saying that the next statement is of my own opinion and not that of the station, or anyone else. That said...Charlevoix is everything Holland (where I live and have grown up) should be.
Let me explain...Upon arrival we were in the familiar surrounding of a downtown area, similar to Downtown Holland. Only difference...It's right on the water! Here's a tip/idea for Holland...Move Padnos somewhere else and build a Boardwalk area with shopping, condos, boat tours, beautiful parks, etc. That's the secret to success...at least in my experience to Charlevoix.
*I don't mean to 'put down' Holland, I just see some room for improvement.
Moving on...Part of the prize package for Charlevoix is a 2 night stay at this place:
The "AmericInn" of Charlevoix!Great accommodations! Close enough to town, but still a good distance away to avoid most of the traffic. After all...US-31 goes right through the city! Oh F.Y.I...The drawbridge seen below, goes up at the Top and Bottom of every hour.
Drawbridge down.
Drawbridge up!We got to the "AmericInn", checked in and entered our room to set up and here's what we first saw...
Our welcome package!The "AmericInn" also has a pool, but for whatever reason...um...We forgot our swimsuits. Ah well. Let that be a reminder to you if you are the winner, or decide to go up there.
Two sad ladies, wishing they had their suits.After leaving the "AmericInn" we were supposed to head out on a Sailboat Tour, but unfortunately, with the winds, cold, and rain this past weekend, it got bumped. Here's a picture of the boat we could have been on...Too bad...Next time though!
"Sunshine"
Emerson in front of the boat.I think today's post is long enough...So I'll end here. Check back tomorrow, when I share what we did instead of the Sailboat Tour!
