Michigan Vacation - recommendations appreciated!

<p>Saugatuck and Holland can be done in a day and it doesn’t sound like you hit those yet. Great shops and galleries and lovely downtowns. New Holland Brewery, in Holland, is the stop to make for beer tasting.</p>

<p>You could drive up 31 , turn left at the casino after Manistee and drive M-22 as far as you want…stops could be Frankfort, Leland and Sleeping Bear Dune…you could cut over to Suttons Bay just north of Traverse and circle back or you go head north at Leland staying on M-22 all the way to Northport depending on your personal preferences regarding time and how many stops you make to take pics. You could also high tail it straight up to Traverse and continue on to Petoskey although I prefer Charlevoix for strolling when we’re killing time waiting for the ferry, turnaround and head back.</p>

<p>I would pick the M-22 drive. </p>

<p>Hard ciders are starting to become popular for a change of pace from microbrews. Vandermill, over the bridge from Grand Haven, has been getting some nice write ups.</p>
