Our first extended visit to Michigan was in the spring of 2009. We did a circumnavigation of the lower Michigan peninsula with a quick hop over the Macinac bridge so we could run up to Lake Superior and touch our toes in its chilly waters. The charming coastal towns and beautiful lake views made for a delightful trip. We returned in 2018 to catch the fall colors in the Upper Peninsula, enjoy Halloween in the Lower Peninsula and take a trip to Mackinac Island.
