Right on the way out to the Folk School! This is one of our all-time favorite trails in the area for a beautiful walk in the woods. Also happens to be where our engagement photos were taken...in -5 degree windchill weather!

Stop for breakfast, coffee, pastries, or lunch! This is our favorite local bakery and they do coffee right, too. Erin's pies are famous. But Laura's favorite is the morning bun or a simple but perfectly executed Hope butter croissant.

If you decide to go to Krewe for dinner Friday, lunch on Saturday, or brunch on Sunday, definitely be sure to make a reservation, as they will be busy for homecoming weekend. This is our favorite restaurant in the area -- a chef-owned, classy place with great food and beverages. Our favorites are the brabant potatoes, fried brussels sprouts, vegetarian red beans and rice, and the dinner rolls. For dessert, you can't go wrong with the bread pudding or their signature key lime pie.

Delicious ciders in a beautiful setting in the Avon Hills.

A St. Cloud classic. Can't go wrong with any burrito on the menu.

Downtown St. Joe staple. Their subs are renowned in this area!

If you come to the folk school from I-94 or St Joseph, you can take the scenic route down County Rd. 51, then after a couple turns you'll drive along one of the most beautiful roads around the area--Schuman Lake Rd. Especially with fall foliage, it is absolutely stunning.
