Day Trip to Ludington: Big Sable Lighthouse in the background and me in front

Day Trip to Ludington

Ludington is another gorgeous town on Michigan’s west coast boarding Lake Michigan. While a day trip to Ludington is perfect if you live not too far, I highly recommend an overnight stay or two as there’s a lot to explore here. Ludington is a town I frequently visited in the summer with friends growing up so it’s always fun returning to see familiar favorites (hello House of Flavors), and new things!

Also, this day trip is perfect in any season, but we visited during the spring.

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.
