Spring Break Staycation in Lansing, Michigan

Anyone else staying behind in Michigan during Spring Break? While my family is early in our Spring Break years since Winston is only a preschooler, growing up my family and I never traveled south during Spring Break. With crowds, increased hotel rates, and iffy driving conditions, we always choose other times to explore to get a better deal. I’m still of the same opinion! Plus! There are so many great spots throughout Michigan you can explore with a full week off! We just took a Spring Break Staycation to Lansing and had a wonderful time.

Unique Things to Do in Ypsilanti

A town my family and I wanted to explore for ages is Ypsilanti! It’s always come across as an underrated gem compared to nearby Ann Arbor. But if you look more into Ypsilanti, there’s a lot of rich history behind how it was formed, who’s settled here over the years, and what it’s blossomed into today. Now it might seem crazy – even impossible, to visit Ypsilanti for a day trip. There is so much to do here! But we did! During this day trip, we focused on covering the most unique things to do in Ypsilanti.

And within that focus, we managed to find something for a variety of travel personalities – history buffs, shopping aficionados, foodies, and auto lovers.

So come learn what you can fit in during a day in Ypsilanti!

Day Trip to Milan, Michigan

Join us on a delightful day trip to Milan, located just a short drive south of Ann Arbor in beautiful Washtenaw County. While Milan is known for its rural surroundings, it also boasts a captivating and thriving historic downtown district.

During our visit, we dined at a couple of Milan’s locally owned restaurants, shopped at the unique shops and boutiques along Main Street, and explored a local park. Especially fun for our son was a visit to a family-friendly indoor playground, where he could run, play, and let his imagination roam free.
