vacation

Thanks to the Pure Michigan advertising campaign, tourists from around the country are discovering the cool places Michigan has to offer. I was surprised to see so many out of state license plates on the cars parked at Mission Point Park last weekend...

Our first long weekend of summer begins tomorrow.  I know Triple A says travel numbers should be up this year compared to last -- gas price not withstanding.  For the first year in the last ten, my family will be staying home.  No one likes travel more than I do, but I have plenty of work around the house to keep me busy...

Want to get away from it all? Be warned, when I say all, I mean all. If people are driving you insane, and you need to get away from pretty much every other human being, and be as alone as possible, there are some tourist traps where you are sure to be left undisturbed.
