Michigan is probably one of the most underrated states. Words can not describe how pretty and amazing things are. You have to see it. This is my opinion of places that are my Michigan favorite places.
Michigan Favorite Places
These are in no particular order. I’m scrolling through all my pictures in dropbox.
Elk Rapids Sculpture Walk
I found this by pure accident, and I could have stayed here longer. I should have stayed here longer.
Inspiration Point
This is another spot I wish I would have stayed longer. Just sit there and take it all in. This spot is BEAUTIFUL.
Tweedle Farm & School
I still can’t believe that this happened, and I still think about it. I still think about her. It was on my way to Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and stopped by here first. I remembered that I was in my feelings about the trip and how I was feeling behind. The day was not going how I expected it was going to go. Also looking back, I was in the moment for the majority of the trip, BUT I was also thinking ahead to make sure I saw everything.
There was a spot that I wanted to see but it turned out to be further away than I thought or looked on the map. I was taking pictures of the farm and a little girl came out of the woods. We talked for a little bit then she ran off again. I called the nonemergency number and then re-found the little girl.
Then the little girl’s family finally came out of the woods. By that time troopers were with us. I stayed with the little girl as long as she wanted. We watched some cartoons on my iPad, drank water, and had uncrustables. When it was time to come to an end, I was talking with the troopers and they told me I did really good. It was driving through the scenic route that I realized I needed her as much as she needed me. It changed my perspective for the rest of the day.
Looking back, it was easy. She just wanted to be seen. It’s the thing we all want.
Tunnel of Trees
This is a fall bucket list. It was absolutely gorgeous in the summer, so I can only imagine the fall.
Upper Peninsula Michigan Favorite Places
Da Yooper Tourist Trap
I didn’t know what to expect when I got here, but I am so glad that I stopped here. I highly recommend making the stop. The website does NOT do it justice.
