Wow! If you are planning on spending two weeks are you staying in one place or do you move around and really "do" the state. Some of the great things to see or experience might include:

Soo Locks
Mackinaw Bridge and Mackinaw Island
Sleeping Bear Dunes
Saugatauk (sp)
Fred Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids
Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village
University of Michigan and Michigan State University campuses
State Capital (great tour)
Traverse City and the cherry orchards/wineries
Frankenmuth and Bronners Christmas Store
Detroit and the Ren Cen
Holland

In the weather forum you just said you just moved from "Mohawk Michigan located in the Keweenaw". So just what are you looking for, if you lived in the Keweenaw you have seen more than pictures of the lakes.

If you make it to the UP you should check out the Pictured Rocks. Take the boat tour, it's worth it.

If you or anyone you know has access to a boat, that'd be great. Michigan boasts over 11,000 inland lakes (the most in the U.S.,) plus being surrounded by four out of the five Great Lakes. Also Traverse City and the wineries.

Default The rivers of the far western Upper Peninsula

Hike the Black and Presque Isle rivers in the far western Upper Peninsula. Go to Bond falls, the pictured rocks, and the waterfalls around Munising. Hike the beaches along the north shore of Lake Michigan near Manistique.
Traverse City is nice when there are no tourists around, but during the summer all you can see are people, cars, and motels.

Check out Grand Haven. It's a nice little tourist town that can be fun during the summer. You can walk all over the place and fish off of the dock by the lighthouse.
