We were so impressed by pictured rocks national lakeshore during our Michigan road trip- I definitely know I’ll be back!

I think I underestimated Michigan. It’s truly so I think I underestimated Michigan. It’s truly so scenic and there are so many aesthetic small towns. 

I absolutely loved every place we went on this Michigan road trip, and summer has the perfect weather for it! ☀️

🚙Just a 1 hour 45 minute drive from the Cincinnati area, it’s an easy road trip destination (It’s also a 1hr 45min drive from Louisville, and 2hr 45min from Columbus)

An ideal place for a memorable trip with kids in tow, 👶🏼 Indy has many great things to do. 

Here are a few of the spots from my reel:

🎉Activities: The Children’s Museum (@childrensmuseum), Indy Canal Walk, Indianapolis Zoo (@indianapoliszoo), Shops of Massachusetts Avenue
