Beautiful little place to get away for the weekend and not to far from Lake Michigan.It is a 1912 Arts and Craft Bungalow, and has been beautifully redecorated.They offer you a quiet refined character,chocolate indulgences and personal touches that make this experience worth repeating. Larry and Lisa are the inn keepers and make you feel as you are part of the family.
Now the recipes are all made from scratch and with a pinch of Larry and Lisas creativity, that will make you wanting to come back for more. Makes me hungrey just writing about it. But you can either go-go-go or just sit back and relax,and keep that wonderful feeling that you get from the moment you walk in. I mean what more could you ask for, when you walk in and are greeted with wine, cheese and a chocolate rececption, and a hearty breakfast in the morning. So if you get time, check it out and give them a call at, 800-204-7596. You will not be disappointed Im sure.Its in WhiteHall MI.

Travel Tips
Hey guys and Gals, Cool Breezes here. Just thought I would share a couple of travel tips with ya. Lord knows we all can use tips to make traveling easier for sure.
1.A flight attendant gave this tip. Take the tops of your plastic toiletry bottles holding liquids(shampoo,lotion,ect)squeeze the sides,and put the top back on. The bottles wont leak during flight. Cooool!!!
2.When you travel, to protect your ipod, put it inside of a plastic soap dish container. Good idea!!
3.Before taking a road trip, go to www.gasbuddy.com for gas prices across the U.S.
4. Now here is one that I thought was weird but guess it works.Nylon stockings are great for removing white deodorant marks on clothes, just slip your hand in one of the legs and rub against the marks untill they disappear. Hum.
5. Now this is cool for you ladies. Drinking straws can keep your necklaces and braclets from tangling in transit.Thread each piece tgrough the straw and secure the clasp, and then you can secure them togeather by putting them inside a toothbrush holder.
6.Bring a frisbee along when you travel for your dog. Its a great toy, and can double for a food dish or water bowl when you make pit stops. Neat!!
So there are a few ideas for ya. Hope you can use them. But for now, keep the cool breezes blowing!!

Michigan Star Clipper Dinner Train
Hey everyone,Cool Breezes here. You know i found something that I thought might be of interest to you. Its called the Michigan Star Clipper Dinner Train. Now the only thing is that its not on the west side of Michigan. But thought it was of interest anyway to put it on my blog. They are located at 840 North Pontiac Trail,Walled Lake MI, 48390.
(248) 960-9440 info line. This is down near the Detroit area. But this would be a experience of a lifetime for you on one of Americas premiere Dinner trains. You can have a three to five course dinner meal. Whichever you prefer, while being entertained with shows such as " a comedy wedding" or "Murder on the Star Clipper" See if you can figure out who commited the murder!! Or "Who Shot the Sheriff" A country murder, musical!!!
Then there are also different musical shows that you can pick from also. What a time to be had by all that attend. So it is live table side entertainment on your 3 hour ride. You can also book a overnight stay in one of the pullman sleeping cars and enjoy breakfast the next morning in the Kentucky Thoroughbred dinning car before you leave. So if you think this is something you would enjoy for a new experience, give them a call and make a resevation and have a ball.
Dont forget now, let the cool breezes blow.

Travel Tips
Hello,Hello, Cool Breezes here. Thought I would share a few travel tips Iv heard about. Maybe you can use them.
1. Now here is a hidden treasure, before you turn in that disposable camera to get developed, take off the thin cardboard and remove the batteries. You can usually use them again for something if your traveling.
2.You know many pet stores or a walmart usually have machines to engrave your pets name on a small metal disk. Well these tags can also be used to serve as luggage tags. Just engrave your name and phone number on it and pin it inside of the linning of your luggage. Then if it gets lost, you will still have the info on the inside.
3. Now here is a story I heard of and thought I would share. A mans wife had back problems and many airlines dont offer pillows anymore , or there isnt enough to go around. He packed Ziplock double-freezer bags in his carry on. After they were seated he would blow into the bag and close it partially,then blow a little more air in and close it up. Says its real comfy. Try it out and tell me what ya think.
4. Now here is a cool trick to help your kidss ears from popping on the plane.Before takeoff give them a sucker and the decent when you land.The swallowing tends to help relieve presure from building up in there ears. But before you touch down, take the candy away, just to be safe. Sounds like a good idea to me.
5.As your nieces and nephews begin to disgard their plastic, brightly colored music-download gift cards this year. Put a white label with your contact info on the back side and punch a hole at the end and attach it to your luggage as a ID tag. The colorful designs will make your suitcase stand out.
6.Use a empty Tic Tac box to carry a supply of toothpicks in. Its just the right size and closes easily, and then you can always find a toothpick when you need it. Ya Hoo!!
7Use a cork when you pack scissors. Stick the ends into the cork.
Well I hope these will help you if you need to use them. If you have an idea, please leave a comment. Always love to hear from you.
Make sure you get out and let the cool breezes blow into your face!!

Nubs Nob
Hey everybody,cool breezes here.You know Im trying to mix things up here on my blog. Trying to give you a little taste of everything. Like bass fishing,trout fishing, links to Disney. Amazon, you know a little of everything. I have looked at a lot of blogs and they are pretty much strightlined in one direction. So I hope you dont mind,I just want to mix it up a bit.
Man I dont know how I got on that. But I found a neat little place called Nubs Nob. Now how do you like that name.But if you like the winter and I know a lot of you do, here is a place you can go for skiing. Its in Harbor Springs MI. But you might want to make it a point to visit Nubs Nob. They have been know to have the best snow around and have earned the distinction of being family-friendly mountain resort.
Now the mountain is fairly simple with an elvation of 1,338 feet and a vertical drop of 427 feet. That scares me already cause I cant ski.lol But they have 43 trails with 8 chair lifts. Now I understand that they brag about having the top skiing and snowboarding school in the country.
Now just because they offer beginners programs, dont be fooled, the expert skiers will be challenged as they glid down the sloops. Now they have night skiing as well. Now I cant ski in the daylight, let alone the dark.lol
But they have a general store where you can get gloves,hats, neck braces, oops I mean neck warmers, or even have someone to fix your skis.
But all this talk has made me hungary. You can go to the cafeteria and have breakfast or lunch or both!!
You can visit Nubs Winter Garden for grilled burgers. The Pintail Peak Warming hut found at the top of the Black Lift, offers homemade soups, sandwiches, and views that will just knock your socks off.
But the living is easy at Nubs Nob, so you can ski now and snowboard later or board now and ski later. What ever you little heart desires. Check this place out and see what you think.
Im going to try and add a little video, cause if your like me, its always nice to see it instead of just trying to picture it in your head. So get out there and let the cool breezes blow.
