I recently traveled to Union Pier, MI., to celebrate a dear family friend's Bachelorette Weekend! We had an incredible time, balancing fun and relaxation with a cocktail class, a sunset cruise, and a beach day. I also played my first-ever game of pickleball and discovered that it absolutely lives up to the hype. I can't wait to play again! ??
Chelsea
