Come Join Me. A Walking Tour Around My Little Town (via Instagram)

A walking tour around my little town, #elkhartlake. Come join me!
Railroad tracks down to the town square

I know there are many who love summer. I do, too. But it’s  that time of year, when the mornings are cooler and days reach the mid-70s that I feel most alive.

As we inch our way toward my favorite season, fall, I’m full up with inspiration. It’s also my favorite time of the year to walk around our little town of 950 which is also a popular tourist destination.

From my home on the north end of the village, downtown I walk, with Gidget in her stroller, past shops and restaurants (we have some of the best restaurants around!), three large resorts, and many homes with lovely front porches or something that catches my fancy and makes me smile.

For the longest time I’ve wanted to capture the sweet and inspiring spots I see along my route and share them.

Well, today is the day I begin! I invite you to follow along as I post photos of my little town to my Instagram feed from now through fall.

I hope you will come along on the walk with me and enjoy Elkhart Lake through my eyes.

Thank you for visiting!

Small Town Living is My Heart

el

I never get tired of my small town. With spring now here, taking walks through town with Gidget in her stroller, my heart soars as my eyes take in all the quaintness that small town living offers.

We are technically called a village with a population of about 948 and we are populated well over thousands during the summer, being that we are a popular tourist destination. If you are a race fan, Road America race track is known as one of the best in the country.

The railroad track, which runs through the hub of downtown, quiet for many years, is making its return soon with trains that will run through here again.

A few times I’ve heard the whistle of a train going through, as work is being done to restore the tracks, not only here, but in neighboring cities too. I look forward to many more moments of this sweet sound to make me pause, listen and capture another reason why I love this little town I call home. And a town that will forever have my heart.
