Looking for a quintessential summer vacation spot for you and your family within the Midwest? For almost 150 years, Lakeside Chautauqua has been entertaining family vacationers from across the country to experience what President Theodore Roosevelt described is “the most American thing in America.” This caught my eye when planning my family’s summer travel plans so I booked a gateway to Lakeside Chautauqua in Lakeside, Ohio for us to experience it for ourselves.

Day Trip to South Haven

When I originally wrote this article back in mid 2020, it was after my family’s first Day Trip to South Haven. Since then, my family and I have returned to South Haven several other times and each time, we participated in different activities in the area! My husband and I even were blessed to go on a romantic getaway to South Haven as well.

So now, this “Day Trip to South Haven” article has taken on a new life and offers *four* South Haven day trip ideas! One that is perfect if it is your first time visiting South Haven (great for all ages – even babies), another to experience South Haven’s hidden gems, a romantic day date for couples, and finally, a day trip idea if you visit South Haven during winter.

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!
