Sleeping Bear Dunes




This past weekend we went to Sleeping Bear Dunes which is up north on the Lake Michigan. This is their off season which made for good deals, so we decided to take the 5 hour drive up.  It rained for most of the first day, but we were able to enjoy our lodge and got to walk along the lakeshore in the evening.  The colors were beautiful and the trees were in full color, a really pretty drive.  We stopped at Cherry Republic, got some yummy samples and had lunch (Michigan is known for their cherries and apples).  The next day we explored the national park a bit and did the Dune Climb which was really cool.  It was cold, but the boys loved it.  It was a great family weekend.

  3. I was just reading about this place in either the AARP Magazine or the AAA magazine...can't remember which, and it was listed as one of the most beautiful places in America. I thought that was interesting and that your family visited there.
