Destination: Up North Michigan

For those of you that follow me on Instagram, you know that I have been up in Michigan these past couple of days. WOHOO! Guys, you have NO idea how excited I am to be back up here! You see, until about the time that I was 9, we would come up here every summer for two weeks. Coming back up at age...not 9 haha...I've been surprised what I do and don't remember. It's been so much fun rediscovering the places that I romped around as a wee one--the beaches that I played on, the lighthouses I looked at, and the sand dunes that I climbed.

The adorable and SUPER nice cottage that we are staying at is right on Crystal Lake. Literally the lake is 20 feet from the back porch and there's it's own cute little beach.

Other than chilling at the house, we've also visited Frankfort Beach, Empire Beach, the Platte River, and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park.

Check out the next post specifically about the Sleeping Bear Dunes! Alas, it's been a blast and it's not even over yet! If you have ANY questions about traveling about here, please let me know--this is turf that myself and my family are very familiar with!
