I grew up in Michigan but never appreciated how amazing it really was until I moved away, but after living nine years in the Chicago area we are back living in Michigan. Michigan has a wide variety of topography and we experience all the seasons. Sure Michiganders complain about the hot, the cold, the rain, the snow, but what else would we talk about? 

There are a lot of activities and fun places to visit in our great state. Because we live in the metro Detroit area most of our  experiences are centered in that locale, but I wanted an outlet to focus on some of our favorite Michigan destinations.
