It’s hard to believe that we live so close to Michigan and yet, we have barely spent any time there. So, when we decided to go to Michigan for vacation this year, we figured we should see it all! We drove up the western side of the state and back down on the eastern side….
Today is our last day in Michigan. It was supposed to rain all day, so we thought we might spend a good chunk of time cleaning up and getting packed to head home. We made a quick trip into Mackinaw City in the morning to explore the beach downtown. It was breezy and a little…
