I stayed at the US Grant Hotel while visiting San Diego for work recently. I am not usually blown away by hotels, but this one really surprised me.

St. Joseph, Michigan
I went to St. Joseph, Michigan for work last week and WOW, I was taken aback by it’s beauty! I wish I could have stayed longer than the three days I was there, but I will certainly be returning! St. Joe has a great up-and-coming craft beer and local wine scene, which is something I love. There is no better way to experience a new town than by the food and drink culture! If you happen to be in the area, check out Silver Harbor Brewing on Pleasant Avenue (they have 10-12 craft brews and amazing food) and Silver Beach Pizza. We had wings and margherita pizza and both were excellent!
