Things To Do
Mackinac Island
If you're up for an adventure, Mackinac Island is a unique, car-less, vacation spot with shopping, historic sites, and incredible views of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron just 3 1/4 hours north of Howell. Be sure to try the famous Mackinac Fudge.
Sleeping Bear Dunes
Head to the Sleeping Bear Dunes in western Michigan to ride in an open buggy or hike a 200-foot mountain of sand right on the coast of Lake Michigan. Google it...the pictures speak for themselves!
Caseville, MI
Caseville, MI holds a special place in each of our hearts. Unknowingly, we both spent much of our childhood on the shores of Lake Huron in Caseville. Caitlin's grandparents live on the beach here and Will's family spent every summer camping at the State Park. The Caseville County Park has a public beach and you are sure to see THE most beautiful sunset of your life. End your night with a Buster Bar from the local Dairy Queen or make a trip to Grindstone General Store in Port Austin for Will's all-time favorite ice cream.
Comerica Park
Mid-July is the perfect time to attend a baseball game in Michigan. Head to Comerica Park in downtown Detroit to watch the Tigers play!
American Coney Island
American Coney Island is one of three Michigan-based restaurants to claim they made the original coney dog. If you fly in/out of DTW, consider taking a detour to try one.
Leo's Coney Island
If you won't be making a trip to Detroit, Leo's Coney Island is a popular casual-dining restaurant where you can find a traditional Michigan coney dog and there are several locations nearby Waldenwoods. This was one of Caitlin's (and her bridesmaids from MSU) favorites while at Michigan State.
Spicer Orchards Farm Market & Winery
Trips to the cider mill are a fall-favorite activity for many Michiganders. At Spicer Orchards, you can find many activities in July including pick-your-own raspberries, blueberries and/or cherries, wine tasting, wagon rides, cider and donuts, etc.
