Total Michigan

Sleeping Bear Dunes is one of those Michigan "right of passages".  Every parent takes their kid there to have them run the dunes to simply wear them out.  I know.  I experienced this first hand.  But that doesn't detract from the beauty of this wonderful park.  In the winter and the summer.  Join us as Scott Tucker walks us through the history, the beauty and how they are working to keep us safe in Covid-19.

Imagine my surprise to discover that Michigan has an Aerospace Museum.  And it is awesome!  Troy Thrash and his staff worked incredibly hard to elevate this museum into a family experience.  It piques curiosity and tickles the imagination.  Located over by Kalamazoo, this museum is definitely worth the trek.
