Hey guys I wanted to share some of the ones I took from my trip to the Sleeping Bear Dunes a couple weeks ago!


The view at sunrise from my room on the 16th floor of the JW Marriott in Grand Rapids. (fanciest hotel i've ever been to!!!)


Looking down! On my way to check out


I was feeling creative


Here we are in Traverse City


Very clear water! Like the Caribbean... but... not really


Path to the beach at the resort we were staying at


sand&water


The Dunes!




There they are again


blueness


lonelyness


steepness


On the dunes


The evening before we left It's a little granier than the rest i think.


In the car


In the car again


A neat lighthouse

Awesome pics!!

My favorite is the one with the three chaise loungers on the beach. Close second are the ones with all the trees in their various colors. Just like a big quilt.

One of many things that makes MI. stand out from the rest, is her beautiful rolling hills in the autumn.

HI I am new

I really needed to see these pictures. It makes me realize the reason I decided to stay in Michigan all those years ago in the first place. I originally came to city-data to look at relocating and saw the Michigan thread. I am so glad I came over and checked it out!

Lots of wonderful pictures you guys! Now if I could just get past the days on end of no sun in the winter, it's like living under a giant translucent bowl LOL

Try to remember to be glad you don't live in Seattle. The roses bloom at Christmas, and if they get a bit of snow everything stops because they don't have plows, and most of the people don't have a clue how to drive in snow. Everything is green year around, but the constant rain very nearly drove me over the edge

Loved all of the pictures they are incredable. I grew up in the area and know how great it is. Living in California for many years now for many reasons but still Love ALL of Michigan.

Does anyone have anymore pics of snow? I'm trying to prepare my kids for the move from CA to MI and they've never seen more than 2 inches at a time. I love everything I've seen so far. I hope none of you mind, I saved a lot of the pics and used them in a screensaver just for my computer.
