Tall Ship of Traverse Bay

Brett was looking up things to do in traverse City and came across the Manitou. It is a replica of an 1800'2 "coasting" cargo schooner. It holds 62 passengers. They have several different sailing packages. We choose the "Moomers Ice Cream Sail". It was a very family friendly 2 hour cruise and they served ice cream.

The kids -actually Brett and Papa too, were able to help put up the sails. It was really neat to see them pulling on the ropes to lift the sails.

It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

The Blue Angels were practicing for the air show and were flying right over our heads. We had a great view.
The kids were able to tour the boat.
I loved being out on the water on such a beautiful day.
Brett's parents joined us for the adventure.


they were getting ready to lift the sails.

After the cruise, Grandma and Papa took the kids back to the cabin and Brett and I spent the evening in traverse City. We loved going to a restaurant that didn't serve mac and cheese. We also shopped around and enjoyed a little quiet time!
