Fall Vacations
 

HELP!!!!!! We have just been given a weeks vacation starting on Monday. We are looking to go somewhere where we can drive to from Detroit. Any suggestions would be great!!! We are looking for fun and interesting mixed with some fall colours.

We would love to have you in Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake Wine Region... the leaves are changing... the tourists are mostly gone and it's grape harvest at the vineyards...

If that's not enough, the Finger Lakes are amazing this time of year... from Letchworth State Park to Cooperstown and as far south as Watkins Glen, Corning and Ithaca, the Lakes are a great getaway and not that far from Detroit...

Just came back fro Niagara on the lake last week. Loved it. Thanks for the other suggestions.

Surely you have fall color in the northern Lower Peninsula and the Upper Peninsula.

Pictured Rocks National Shoreline! I went this summer and it was beautiful and amazing! More info here: http://thefreelanceadventurer.blogsp...s-another.html

MainerGirl...I live in NH. Great blog. Just bookmarked it for the future!

Thanks!

MainerGirl...you're awesome!!!! Thanks. I am definitely taking your advice. D

Happy to help! We also had an amazing time this summer up in Traverse City area. Great dining and beautiful beaches. It's one of my blog posts too if you are interested.

Could you please send it to me? Thanks .D

I'd be very interested in the blog about Traverse City. Thanks so much. D

We stayed a few days in a small town called Arcadia in NW Michigan. Then we drove to some area attractions including a day/evening in Traverse City and a day at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Shoreline. These destinations are much closer to Detroit than Pictured Rocks and also very beautiful/fun. I love good food and Traverse City had a lot of options. We researched it prior since we only had one night there and decided on Trattoria Stella - a well known Italian restaurant. So good!
