Whoa, it sure felt like summer flew by way too fast.
That's pretty much the case every year because there's nothing quite like summer in northern Michigan.
Up North -- that's where we head as Michiganders. We're pretty lucky to live in such an amazingly beautiful state. I've spent some time in the U.P., but I've never really had a chance to just be a tourist and explore.

Recently, I was lucky enough to spend a week experiencing the Upper Peninsula beauty first hand. Waterfalls, canyons, beaches and bears. I was blown away.
What's your favorite place in the Upper Peninsula? I can't wait to get back and experience even more.
