Michigan’s the Place to Be in 2016
Welcome, welcome! Welcome back to Michigan.
Okay no one exactly said that (okay, my family may have), but that’s how I felt when I returned to Michigan 10 months ago. Michigan’s the place I live and love. From tall ever greens to cars and education to having 4 out of 5 of the Great Lakes, Michigan is really an awesome place to be.
As we bring in 2016, I invite my readers to check out all that Michigan has to offer. I’ll be hopefully showing you more about this great state with this fun blog.
Michigan, two great peninsulas each surrounded by great lakes and over 11,000 inland lakes (take that Minnesota!), has plenty to offer those who live here and those who come to visit. Michigan has year round fun!

Did you know that Michigan has the longest freshwater shoreline in the world? Yes!
Let me introduce you to my Michigan.
The first college I attended was in Wisconsin–way up on the shores of Lake Superior I think (in Ashland, WI) I swam in that and it was COLD–I also attempted to walk logs-I ended up swimming then too!! It is certainly beautiful up there–My room mate lived in Michigan and I spent that Thanksgiving at her home. I am a New Yorker through and through and came home again. Michigan is a beautiful place and certainly one I’d tell people to go visit!! I look forward to your posts!!!
Thanks so much! Yes Ashland is near Lake Superior. Thanks for stopping by
I have not been to Michigan in more than two decades even though I live close by. I plan on going sometime this spring though to visit family.
I love Michigan, although I could do without the long winters. Mackinac Island is on my bucket list.
Mackinac Island is definitely worth the visit. I stayed in the Grand Hotel back in around 2002. Beautiful views and a slower pace (due to lack of cars!)
I agree! We have a great State with so many great things to find within it! Thanks for sharing this!
