Sites: Lake Michigan Shore Drive

Have you ever itched for a road trip? Head out to discover West Michigan. It is the perfect place that is close to home, but gives you that 'vacation' feel.

Last fall, I was in a photography class and one of the assignments was to pretend that you were on vacation and take 'tourist photos' of your home town. Not really sure how that was going to work, my honey, suggested a spontaneous road trip up the Lake Michigan coast to visit some of the light houses. No twisting my arm on that one.

Our first stop was South Haven, Michigan. It was cold and grey, but a beautiful day to take photos.





We then drove up to Holland, Michigan. What a cool town! 
Side Note: I didn't know before we got there, that my honey was offered a scholarship to go to school there...? wha? Although it would have been amazing, I'm so glad he didn't go. Because we met during undergrad at Western Michigan University ;)




So this blog post is a year late... But next time you're in the mood for a spontaneous road trip, I hope it's inspired you a little bit to explore Michigan. It's an amazing state with unlimited possibilities for a great time (and great photos!)
