Things To Do
Frankenmuth
Just North of Flushing, MI is this Bavarian town with lots of shopping, restaurants, and other activities. They are best know for Bronner's, a year round Christmas superstore, and either Zenders or the Bavarian Inn where you can get the famous Chicken Dinner.
Birch Run Premium Outlets
Looking to do some shopping? Check out the outlet stores in Birch Run!
Bakersfield Detroit
Looking for tacos and margs? This place is down the street from where Aly lived in Detroit and spent many sunny afternoons on their patio. Not to mention, this is where Aly and Kevin went on their first date!
Detroit Institute of Arts
For the art lovers. The DIA has an impressive collection and a great way to spend an afternoon strolling around.
Ashley's
With over 100 beers on draft, you're sure to find something you like at this Ann Arbor institution. This was Kevin's go to bar while in college and still a favorite place to visit. He recommends the stilton fries, but Aly is not a fan of the stinky cheese fries.
Traverse City
As the hometown of Aly's roommates, Sarah and Laurie, she spent many long weekends and holidays in this beautiful Up North city. Summers are a busy time here with several wineries & breweries, beautiful beaches, and a cute downtown to explore. You will not regret a trip here despite a little bit longer drive.
Port Austin
If you're looking to check out Lake Huron, we highly recommend this amazing beach town at the tip of the "thumb" a little over 2 hours from Flushing or Detroit. If you're up for a bit of a kayaking adventure, you can see the iconic turnip rock. Home to Abby's grandparents, she is a frequent visitor.
Holland
If you're looking to see Lake Michigan and enjoy a beautiful beach day, you can't go wrong with Holland State Park. Though you really can't go wrong with any of the beautiful towns along the west coast of the state or any of the State Park beaches.
