We recently celebrated our 5th Wedding Anniversary this April 9th. Each year we try to do something special and take a weekend vacation somewhere new. This year we celebrated our anniversary at a cabin in Barage, Michigan located in the Upper Peninsula.

This year we headed up to the North Woods and spent our first night in Baraga, Michigan on the Keweenaw Bay where we enjoyed drive-in dining because lazy nights in a cabin are all the rage in our family. A bag full of snacks and a few movies for snuggling up to the cozy fire and enjoying together. Of course these days all the movies are cartoons and Disney but still, we enjoy every moment. Key ingredients for a magical evening include Twizzlers, popcorn, a puzzle, a board game, and sparkling water.

View our many travels on our personal travel blog or family sessions we photograph on our blog.

Update: We take many trips to the Upper Peninsula, but this one was our absolute favorite over the years.
