learning about Michigan

We stayed in Berrien Springs, MI at Shamrock Park campground. I would highly recommend the campground as its clean, well taken care of, and has nice bathrooms.
In town they have a university- Andrew's University.

This is what a field of blueberries look like! Wow!


Sunday we took a trip to the blueberry 'place' to skope it out and place our order for 90 lbs of blueberries!


On the way back to our campground. We went to St Julian Winery in Paw Paw, MI


At the winery they offer tours and tastings. After we tasted some very nice wine we got to see the operation and learn a lot about grapes and wine making. A lot of fun!

The wine 'curing' in the barrels


checking out the wine


this is where the grape juice is stored before its made into wine


Another stop on the way back to get groceries turned out to be a wonderful surprise for me. We wanted to get ice, cheese, and turkey (this would be for john not for me). We looked and looked all over the store for turkey with non to be found. It turns out this is an all VEGETARIAN grocery store. Yup no meat at all and its the size of a normal sized hy-vee. I was in heaven looking at all the veggie products. How cool is that!


As we were camping on the St. Joseph river we had some geese that likes to hang out at our camp ground.

More to come stay tuned...
