A DAY TRIP IN THE LOWER U.P.

Looking for a fun spring road trip in the Upper Peninsula? Head down to the Lower U.P. and check out Escanaba, Cedar River & the Menominee area… including a couple of lighthouses, a favorite Swedish breakfast place, wine tasting, a walk around downtown Menominee, and an old timey burger joint (just across the border in Wisconsin!)

One of my favorite places to visit in spring is Windmill Island. Check out the 250-year-old windmill, a carousel and costumed guides, plus a few cute Dutch-themed shops to stroll. Walk around, see the tulips, tour the windmill, grab a bite from a food vendor (typically carnival-like during Tulip Time) and just take in the beauty of spring!

Spring in West Michigan can’t be beat! Take a stroll in Downtown Muskegon… grab a coffee at Aldea Coffee, check out the blooming flowers at The Monet Garden (a picturesque pocket park), see the many historic homes during the Depression Era, and grab a drink at Unruly Brewing before catching the sunset at Pere Marquette Beach.
