Michigan in the Summer, it's the Best!

No Rothbury in 2010, so that means I was on the water today like  the rest of the Michigan population this year.

This is my favorite holiday. There’s no obligations to coordinate my holiday with everyone else, and I get to experience the glory of over the top fireworks blasting in the sky with a crowd of celebrating strangers.

Some of my favorite Michigan things to do on the 4th of July include:

– Going to the beach at Grand Haven and walking the boardwalk

– Going to Saugatuck and shopping (especially at the Timmel Collection) and then heading over to Oval Beach

– Heading up north to Pentwater and enjoying the quaint little seaside village

– The Traverse City Cherry Festival

– Visiting the Upper Peninsula and getting lost in nature

– Grand Rapids fireworks

– Jamming to music at the Rothbury Music Festival (I hope it comes back next year)

– But my very favorite is heading out on a boat with friends on Lake Michigan and totally relaxing.

What’s your favorite thing to do on the fourth of July in Michigan? Happy Fourth of July! Have a safe, and of course fun time!

This is what can happen in Michigan, when you get snowed in. Okay, so this isn’t exactly a Michigan Sweet Spot, but we do have chihuahua’s here and I couldn’t resist putting this photo up. I hope you and yours are having a wonderful holiday season. Thank you all for making this blog  successful.
