During these times of economic hardship taking a vacation might seem like a crazy idea; but smart travelers know that there is no need to travel far to have the most amazing time away. Exploring the U.S can offer you amazing surprises. Yes there are places like California or Florida, but there are also other places that offer incredible opportunities. Michigan, for example is one such place. Scenic lakeshores, tumbling waterfalls and welcoming communities define this state. Divided in two general regions, thef Upper and Lower Peninsula connected by the third longest bridge in the world, Michigan can ensure the perfect vacation.
It is simply a charming place, full of accommodation alternatives that range from an affordable Michigan vacation rental to a luxurious hotel and numerous entertainment alternatives for active travelers. Water sports, natural and hand-made attractions and what’s best, great cuisine are all easily available here. In Michigan it is not hard to find lighthouses, beautiful state parks and spectacular lakes. You can also learn a little at Michigan’s historic places, experience its Zoos or tame a wild water park.
If you are a fan of food, you won’t have any problems in Michigan. From casual dining in family owned restaurants or scenic outdoor patios to fine cuisine in top-notch Detroit eateries eating at Michigan will always be a real treat. I recommend you taste local specialties such as planked Great Lakes whitefish or the heavenly fudge desserts and of course do not forget to try the delicious Chardonnay! If you are not under a budget you can also take a train or boat Dinner Cruise and enjoy your sophisticated meal watching spectacular sunset.
And if you love the outdoors then Michigan will certainly enchant you. With 3,200 miles of coastline, numerous inland lakes and dozens of downhill ski resorts, Michigan outdoor possibilities are infinite. While summer is perfect for fishing, boating and canoeing in one of the exciting Michigan lakes, during the winter you can enjoy skiing or snowmobiling at Keweenaw Peninsula. You can also relax in one of Michigan’s natural parks and preserves
