Travel
Michigan Travel – While our focus is Michigan’s Thumb region, we strike out across the Great Lakes and find fun and things to do.
We look for places to see geared for families on a budget. We look for unique and one-of-a-kind spots that the tourists don’t know about.
Michigan has been a traveler’s destination for over 100 years. That is part of our Michigan history, and many great sites and stories came as a result.
We commonly take a road trip throughout Michigan to explore some out-of-the-way places that we want to know more about.
Destinations include; Michigan’s Upper Penninsula, The sunrise coast, the wine-producing areas and vineyards of Traverse and Southwest Michigan, the greater Detroit area, and even nearby Illinois and Ohio.
Here are some of our best Michigan Travel posts.
