Seul Choix Pointe Lighthouse
Looking for a spring adventure in the Upper Peninsula? Seul Choix Pointe Lighthouse, pronounced Sis-shwa, is beautiful any time of year. If you go during operating hours, you can take the full tour, and climb to the top of the light tower. Just be sure to watch out for any “cigar smoke” from the lighthouse keeper’s ghost — this one is notoriously known for being haunted! And be to sure to grab a bite in the little town of Manistique nearby! ⚓️
THE TULIP FIELDS
One of my favorite spring traditions is to head down to Holland in West Michigan to check out the tulip fields. There are two places I rotate between — Windmill Island and Veldheer Tulip Gardens. Either way, you’ll see rows and rows of gorgeous tulips and can experience some of the Dutch culture. Pro tip… head there on a weeknight instead of a weekend during Tulip Time to avoid some of the crowds! 🌷
MONET GARDEN IN MUSKEGON
This pink blooming tree at the Monet Garden in Muskegon is… stunning, every year. The garden is an adorable little pocket park in downtown Muskegon, inspired by France’s famous Giverny gardens. It was transformed from a vacant lot, and has a little replica of the famous Japanese bridge from Giverny, painted in its signature color. An adorable spot to check out the fish pond, sit on a bench or take some photos!
Love a wintry moment at the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse! Elliot and I took a little weekend getaway to the Keweenaw last weekend, not knowing we were heading into an epic snowstorm, oof, but… we made it there and back alive! We had a great weekend overall, stayed in Eagle River, got to see the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse, have some delicious cocktails and food, and spend a little time in Houghton grabbing breakfast and coffee, checking out a shop, and snapping a photo in front of the lift bridge before heading home to Marquette! ❄️
