More time for what you love
Looking for a nice place to stay in lower Michigan? Head to Zeeland, which is close to Holland. Ask for directions to Dutch Treat, on Chicago drive. This campground has a nice pond, park, and pool, with a bit of road, and train noise. Hop on your bike, and head down the road to Huizenga park, a few tenths of a mile away. It’s great for littler kids, and older ones too! It has a zipline, and other fun things to do. It even has a skate park! Hungry? Head, or order first from Vitale’s pizza. The large pizzas are huge! Multiple trees between campsites, allow room to put up hammocks. Dutch Treat was a place that we enjoyed, and would totally recommend it to others.
Once upon a time, a long time ago (2006), two crazy kids decided to take a sabbatical. They dubbed it the Grand Adventure and with Cassie as their steadfast home on wheels, they departed for the beauty, serenity, and adventure of the Canadian West and Alaska.
Grand Marais is a perfect small town, with busy streets and many cool things to do. Got a trailer? No problem. Head to the RV and tent campsite with 300 campsites to choose from. Want a nice calm site? Head to the tent camping area, where campers are easy going, and it is usually peaceful.
Try and get a spot close to lake Superior, where rock skipping is easy. Moving on to the town, Grand Marais has many buildings close together. The whole city is on a slight hill, if you head into town! If you have your kids with you, take a scooter, or just walk up the hill to the YMCA, a playground and a skate park. (Above.) If you are alone, or with your spouse, try some of the coffee shops scattered around town. Maybe take a trip to the lighthouse, that is accessible by a large stretch of pier and rocks. The lighthouse offers a spectacular view of Lake Superior. Weather your looking for some fun, or some me time, Grand Marais is the place for you. -Liam
