Michigan...the Breakdown

Day 1- We drove all day and ended up in Grand Haven, MI for the night. Grand Haven State Park is beautiful. Our kids would have been happy if we had just stayed here. There's a nice beach with a lighthouse and lots of volleyball nets.  Grand Haven State Park





Day 2- We drove to Empire, MI. We stayed at Indigo Bluffs RV Park & Resort. We stayed in one of their cottages.  We loved it! The employees were very nice and it was a great place to stay. It was nice to have a kitchen to cook in.  During the evening we went to Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes National Lake Shore.  We climbed the dune and had lots of fun! 



Day 3- We drove to Leland, Michigan and checked out Fish Town. This is a quaint little town that is fun to spend some time in.



After that we checked out Sutton's Bay.

Then, we kayaked the Crystal River.  We did this through the Crystal River Outfitters.  In most places this river is only a foot deep. It really is crystal clear.



Day 4- Red Shoes went swimming at our resort, and the others rented bikes.  





In the evening we went to Lake Michigan Beach Park in Empire. This is a beautiful area. On one side of the street you have Lake Michigan on the others you have a small, beautiful, warm lake.

  
Day 5- We rented a boat from Dewitt Marine in Bellaire, MI.  They were great to work with.We spent most of the day on Torch Lake.  National Geographic called Torch Lake the 3rd most beautiful lake in the world.  It did not disappoint.





Other stuff we did:
Glen Haven Beach, Empire Bluff Trail and Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive & the Pyramid Point Trail.
