Yep my 10 year Anniversary is on 8-08-08.
Me and the wife are dropping the boys off in Troy to her sisters for the weekend.
I'm looking for some good Michigan vacation spots.
She likes to shop and hangout in the sun. So any good ideas are appreciated.

We were looking at a couple places already like, Petoskey, sleeping bear, etc.
Just looking for some positive input from places you guys have been to.

Thanks in advance.

+1 for Frankenmuth or Mackinaw Island is ALWAYS great. What do you like to do. There is Picture rocks glass bottom boat tours, Taquemnenon Falls (SP?), Mac Island, Hersey Park in Penn. I enjoyed the Hersey thing since I love candy and rollercoasters. It is a 6 or 7 hour drive. Putin Bay is fun (Ohio). There is lots to do in MI, OH, PENN.

I argee with all the Michigan vacation spots that people listed. Except, change 12 oaks to Southland and go to Culvers for dinner.

Petoskey is really, really nice. Tony and I just came back from there. Very pretty. Go to the State Park there, nice beach. Nice victorian homes there (I'm going to start winning the lotto now, because I want one of those houses.) They have some shopping there. And they have a Casino there too.

The Picture Rocks in the U.P. is cool too.

Sleeping Bear is cool too.

I would look into staying at a nice bed and breakfast that only has a few rooms in their house. Makes it more special. Or us you might be stuck with a bunch of kids in the hotel, like the crappy Days Inn in Petoskey. One good thing about that place... free 24 hour food cafe thingie :rockon:
