Day Trip to Manistee, Michigan

My husband Tony and I took a day trip to Manistee after it was recommended by a colleague of his. Nicknamed the Victorian Port City, downtown Manistee is on the National Register of Historic Places due to its preserved Victorian architecture. If you are planning a vacation in Ludington, Pentwater, or near the Sleeping Bear Dunes, consider a day trip to Manistee. And if you’re looking for summer plans, this day trip offers plenty to explore! Read on for more information.

Day Trip to the Sleeping Bear Dunes

I’m excited for National Parks week in the middle of April! Mark your calendar’s folks! This year (2021), the National Parks Service is giving us free admission to ALL national parks in the country on April 17. Wondering how to take advantage of this special day in Michigan? I recommend you take a day trip to the Sleeping Bear Dunes. A couple years ago, my husband and I visited the Sleeping Bear Dunes for the first time. It’s amazing how big the park is. It includes all the dunes as well as the historic town of Glen Haven, the Port Oneida Rural Historic District, three former Coast Guard stations, as well as both the North and South Manitou islands.

Day Trip to East Hills & Eastown, Grand Rapids

East Hills and Eastown are two popular neighborhoods located next to each other within Grand Rapids. Both neighborhoods are on Wealthy Street, which is a bustling street filled with small, independent shops, restaurants, and businesses. Because there is so much to do here, I recently took a day trip to East Hills and Eastown to check it out. This day trip is perfect for a girls day out, day date, or even a parent-child bonding outing.
