Alright. I thought I had sold my family on the Sonoma, CA area... I was wrong. So, I need your help. I have five people to please (ages 28-54). My dad wants to lake fish, go atv-ing, and possibly ride a dune buggy. My mom and I are more into relaxing, antiquing, wine, and sightseeing. The other two guys would be happy doing either. Any suggestions on where, in the US, we could go??? Thanks in advance!

The Traverse City area of Michigan fits many of these interests; Sleeping Bear Dunes, many lakes and streams for fishing, and many little towns with great shopping.

Yes, many places in Michigan would. Sagatuck is great, South Haven, Grand Haven, Traverse City, etc.

Leave dad at home?

hahahaha! Brewlew... believe me, both my mom and I have thought of that!

Florence, Oregon and above would cover all your items. Lake fishing nearby, great dune buggy rides, antique shops and the best scenery. When???

Thanks oregonmom. We have decided on Portland... end of July. Any thoughts or suggestions?
