Pandora - pick your own music!

I have fallen in love with Pandora because I love picking a song or artist, such as Neil Young and being able to get a playlist that fits with a mood!  It is so easy, perfect for summer!

The Chocolate Garden, Coloma, Michigan- handmade truffles

We stopped by the Chocolate Garden on the way to New Buffalo, Michigan.  They speicalize in handmade truffles, and even have a truffle tasting bar!  Since I love chocolate, I really enjoyed the truffle tasting experience.  It was also fun to see my son taste the three different truffles, and decide which one he liked best.  His favorite was the salted dark chocolate.  My husband like the hazelnut milk chocolate. I liked the dark chocolate truffle.   I also got the drinking chocolate which doesn't have any dairy, it is just rich, chocolate goodness!  The place is in the middle of rolling countryside and it is nestled in fruit orchards.

Terrace Room Restourant, New Buffalo, Michigan

The Terrace Room Restaurant at the Harbor Grand Hotel in Buffalo, Michigan has excellent food and a wonderful ambiance.  Stacey, Chris, and Arie from the restaurant were all wonderful and treated us like true guests by giving us excellent service and telling us about the area.  Stacey even made towers with my son with creamers, which he loved!   My son had the spaghetti and meatballs which were surprisingly delicious!  The service was amazing, I will be back.  Our room at the hotel had views of the harbor, and we were able to walk to the beach at Lake Michigan.

The Harbor Grand, a waterfront inn, also provides a continental breakfast in the morning with boiled eggs, muffins, and coffee.
