Don’t sleep on this scenic Michigan road trip adventure! 😍

I definitely never gave enough credit or thought to Michigan as a travel destination, 🙈 and wow my trip here really exceeded all expectations!

There are so many picturesque small towns, beautiful lake views, 🏊‍♀️ fun places to relax on the beach or swim, and plenty of nature and hiking options. 

This is the general route we followed, but you can of course tweak it to fit your interests!

We found the coolest glamping dome property in Northern Kentucky, 💕 and it feels like a tiny escape bubble in the woods!

With cozy beds, big windows looking out at nature, 🌳a campfire at night, and all the comforts of home… but in a dome.

This was such a fun little family getaway, and the boys are still talking about how much fun they had!

If you’ve been looking for a unique NKY or Cincinnati area staycation, this one is definitely worth saving!🌲 

They also have tree house style lodgings too!

🚗 Day 4: Road-trip across the island, heading to Ponce & more

🌇 Day 5: Relax in San Juan area, enjoying a beach day 🏝️ & heading to Gozalandia falls

Logistics for visiting 👇🏼 📍Located below the Rock Logistics for visiting 👇🏼

📍Located below the Rock of Cashel (County Tipperary)

🚗 Park at the Rock of Cashel main lot and walk down (about 10–15 minutes through a field and then alongside a road, it’s easy)

⏰ Open access, free to enter, but best to go in daylight

👟 Wear shoes that can get muddy- the ground can be wet and there are cow turds all over 💩 

It’s quiet. It’s open. It feels untouched, and somehow a lot of people miss it.

Make sure to add a visit to Hore Abbey to your Ireland itinerary! 🇮🇪
