Re: QOTD

  • Mackinaw City/Mackinac Island.  It is a special spot for DH and I and we always have a good time when we go there.

  • TC is one of my favorite MI spots.  I used to go there every winter with my family growing up.  This summer will be my first time going with DH, I'm hoping it's as fun as I remember.

    We are heading up to Mackinaw Island next week, we have a wedding on Wednesday there. I can't wait, I have never been and I am looking forward to just relaxing!  Any special spots we should see?

  • Traverse City. It is beautiful. WINE, good food, water, amazing scenery & a happy vacay memory from mine & H's first trip together :)
  • Traverse City, it's just such a nice, relaxing place. We have taken a couple vacations there in the last few years and we always enjoy yourselves.

  • Another vote for Traverse City!!!

  • hmm.  I would say mackinaw, frankenmuth or any city on one of the lakes. hard to believe, but I have never been to TC. It's obviously a favorite amongst so many people so I'm sure i'll love it.  I am going in august for a girls weekend so after that my choice may change.

  • I love Traverse City & Ludington!  My best friend got married in Ludington, it's such a cute town and have gone for a weekend getaway there every year since.

    Since it's your first time I'd recommend the horse carriage tour, it is really a great way to see a lot of the island without have to do all the work of bicycling :) We loved the Butterfly House stop of the tour, if you're into that sort of thing you'll like it. Be sure to eat at the Pink Pony!

  • Going to have to be unoriginal and say Traverse City. DH and I have had our best vacation moments there! Relaxing and beautiful. Can't ask for too much more.

  • Hubbard Lake. My family has a cabin up there and its gorgeous. The lake is beautiful, mostly sand and not ever busy.

  • Mackinac Island for sure!  Two weeks until we go up! :)

    We know people that live/work on the island year-round or consistently every summer, so half the fun is seeing those people.

    I love Glen Arbor! We used to go up there all the time. I miss it A LOT.

  • It's a tie between Saugatuck and Hubbard Lake, which is funny because they are very different!  Saugatuck because DH's family has a house there, and that's where we got engaged.  Hubbard Lake because my family has a cabin there, and that's where my best memories are from growing up.

  • Gaylord, MI.  Our family vacations there every summer, so I have a lot of fun memories there.  It's also pretty centrally located, so it's a short day trip to Mackinaw, Traverse City, Charlevoix, etc.
