Cherry Republic | Traverse City

They have cherry EVERYTHING. Seriously. Bring an extra suitcase. We take home about half a car full from this store annually. So good. The rest of Front Street is worth checking out as well.

Beaches!

We've got Lake Michigan (find out why they're called Great) - or if you want someplace a little less crowded try Esch Road beach (part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes) and Frankfort Beach (which is also an adorable town). Elk Rapids is another great little town with a nice beach. And can't forget Torch Lake, which is often ranked as one of the prettiest lakes in the country, and has the same blue waters as the Caribbean without that pesky salt or sharks.
