Sometimes you just want to escape the cold and enjoy some indoor winter activities in northern Michigan. As someone who doesn’t completely embrace the frigid winter fun I completely get it and there’s no shame in it. However, if you want to spend your time outdoors during the winter, even if there’s no snow, be…
Temps are starting to cool, and the leaves are starting their glorious transition from summer greens to the vibrant array of autumn hues. One of the best ways experience that change is with a fall color weekend in Cadillac, Michigan. I feel like Michigan is a hidden gem when it comes to fall color tours….
Off-road vehicle (ORV) riding has exploded in popularity in Michigan, especially since the pandemic. And as luck would have it, my hometown of Cadillac and the surrounding region has 120 miles of off-road vehicle trails along 10 ORV trail systems, which I got to explore recently. The best part? If you don’t have an ATV/ORV/Side-by-Side/etc…

When I spend time in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (U.P.) I fall in love all over again. It has been a few years since I had visited this region of the state and I loved going back. The U.P. has an abundance of nature. Drive along Hwy 2 and you’ll follow the Lake Michigan shoreline for…
“Will we see a shark?” Miss S. asks. “Yes, there will be sharks” I reply. “Are we going to see fishies?” “Yes, there will be lots and lots of fishies!” I remind her. Her 3 year old excitement for her first visit to an aquarium starts to rub off on me and I’m just as…
When I started planning Emma & I’s road trip I knew that I wanted it to be memorable and not just a memory of us being stuck in a car for days on end. I automatically thought of taking the S.S. Badger Car Ferry across Lake Michigan. This would really be the perfect opportunity to…

Occasionally, you’ll stumble across a winter post for those that enjoy cold weather sports and outdoor pursuits. This list is a guide to all the…
Sandy beaches, bonfires, camping, stargazing, and festivals are just a few of the reasons to get outside and enjoy summer in Michigan. Michiganders may suffer long and horrible winters, but when the weather turns warmer we know how to get outside and embrace our Michigan summer. Summer is when I fall in love all over…
Between here and Petoskey is a 2-lane road that cuts its way through the woods and past a few small towns, some nothing more than a gas station and small store. It’s only 75 miles between our towns, but it’s a world of difference in character and charm. Summer Fun Petoskey Michigan WHY PETOSKEY? This…
This Upper Peninsula Michigan list is by no means all-inclusive but instead features the highlights of what there is to do in each area on the EAST SIDE of the peninsula and the things that I always recommend to friends. We tend to stick to the free/inexpensive things like hiking, visiting lighthouses, waterfall chasing, rockhounding,…
Head west out of downtown Traverse City and follow the road as it hugs the Grand Traverse Bay shoreline. The drive alone is worth a visit to the Inn at Black Star Farms as the views of the bay are simply beautiful and serene in a way that only northern Michigan can offer. Plan extra time…
