[@snickers1777]

Highly recommend the north side DeBoer bakery for breakfast/brunch! I love the south side one too, but that location is more of grabbing a quick treat/pastry. Farmers Market on Wednesday and Saturday in the AM; try Knot Spot Pretzel (they set up right next to the Civic Center downtown) for some AMAZING soft pretzels!! If you want to beat the heat, go see a movie at Sperry’s downtown. They have reclining massage chairs and can even bring a meal and adult beverages to you in the theater! Super clean and beautiful.

Wisconsin has the better sports teams if you like that. Either state will work, I’m here because everything has just worked out here for work. But I’m only 2 hrs from the U.P. which I love as well.

I remember beach hopping all the way from St Joseph to Manastee and then visiting Mackinaw island our first trip scouting out Michigan. Many trips followed over a decade or so. Upper peninsula has even more to enjoy from the Soo locks to Whitefish point to Pictured Rocks national park to Copper Harbor. If you like lakefront vacation time you can't go wrong when the weather is to your liking. Being only 3 hours from the state line makes it nice for us to do a day trip or an overnighter camping in the car. Cheap fun for us. Out of the area in this vid Grand Haven is our favorite. South Haven and St Joseph wins the day trip award with Warren Dunes and New Buffalo good as well. Don't forget to grab fresh blue berries when in season. Farmers markets in abundance are our preference for a quick lunch along the way. Many have fresh baked goods available.
