Christmasy Day Trip to Downtown Detroit

During the holidays, we always try to explore some of Michigan’s largest cities and towns. There’s always something magical about Christmastime in a city! And no matter how many times you visit a city during Christmas, there’s always something new to see as well as traditional favorites to experience over and over again. Detroit is one of the cities we continually are drawn to visiting during the holidays. That’s why I put together this Christmasy day trip to Downtown Detroit to help inspire your own visit!

Getaway to Ann Arbor

From stopping to smell the peonies to exploring works of public art, we saw a lot during our recent getaway to Ann Arbor, Michigan. Ann Arbor is more than just a college town – home to the University of Michigan. It is one of Michigan’s cultural and artistic hubs. It’s also a beautiful green city with lots of tall, old trees. Buildings and towering historic stone churches blend right into the leafy skyline. If you love parks and trails, you’ll be spoiled for choice on which to start with.

My family and I don’t often travel over to southeast Michigan so we made the most of our time here. If you enjoy art and nature, this is the perfect destination for you. And if that isn’t enough, everyone we interacted with was extremely friendly! Read on to discover some of the best attractions to explore in Ann Arbor.

Fun Things to Do in Greater Grand Rapids

When my family isn’t out on a day trip somewhere, we usually find one or two fun things to do in the greater Grand Rapids area. Since I live nearby, Grand Rapids is an area I’m extremely knowledgeable about.

Whether you’re a GR local, Michigander seeking something fun to do in Grand Rapids during a day trip, or visitor from out of state, I hope this list inspires you to check out something new outside of downtown Grand Rapids.
