I know that I am way way way behind in blogging and Jeff has been hounding me for months to finish last season especially as this one will begin soon.
We had an awesome time in the Lower Peninsula in Michigan! We stayed just below South Haven and not only spent time there but we were also able to visit with our friends Linda and Bob in Holland.
Michigan was one of my favorite places to visit. There is so much to see and do and the weather is absolutely gorgeous! Though you will need your bug spray as the mosquitos can be deadly. Below is just a sample and what we chose to do this first time around. We stayed in Covert, MI which is located about 15 minutes south of South Haven which is a beach and water town with lots of restaurants, wineries, and breweries nearby.
We did some time on the beach and along the waterway. Even observed the July 4th fireworks from a perch above the water. Though the water was pretty cold but Jeff did go in!
We took a sunset sail one evening in Lake Michigan. We were not sure whether we would get to see the sun set as it had clouded up – we were pleasantly surprised. It was a beautiful sail on a nice summer evening!
One day we took a ride to Saugatuck and rode their famous Dune Ride. The Dune Ride dates back to 1954. It is a really fun ride where you learn about the lost town of Singapore and get to see some interesting wildlife and vegetation.
While in Covert we were able to go to the Hartford Speedway a couple of times to see stocks as well as sprints.
One evening we took a dinner cruise on Lake Macatawa which connects with Lake Michigan. This lake is located by Holland and is where the DeVos home is.
After leaving the Lower Peninsula where the ‘trolls’ live we header to the Upper Peninsula where the ‘Upers’ reside.
