See What's Happening in June!

June is definitely a happenin' month in Michigan! I've spent the past few days cramming our calendar full of fun plans, festivals and events. I'm excited at all the possibilities!

June is one of my favorite months as nature is still fresh and new. I've hugged baby goats and rabbits and I love watching our deer begin to grow their little antlers.

What have we been up to? Well, last weekend we were on Belle Isle for the exciting Grand Prix. We had an absolute blast driving a few laps around the track, watching a variety of racing categories and enjoying the weekend in Detroit. We are excited to share lots of new recommendations for Detroit and the Grand Prix if you plan to go next year. Plus we'll have lots of photos and a recap of our trip in the next newsletter.

As for the rest of June, we are taking a few days to enjoy the Traverse City Cherry Festival and the St. Ignace Car Show. Plus our young nephew will be staying for a few days so we will be visiting a couple zoos, splashing at a water park and engaging in a few other kid related activities!

Below is a list of upcoming Michigan events that we think you will enjoy. If we've missed your favorites, please let us know!
