First of all, some songs on our road trip playlist have been accompanying us in a thematic way. When a song about Michigan magically pops up on my playlist, and all of a sudden I finally understand what the lyrics are about because I just experienced them- that’s what road trip playlists are all about! I see the serendipity in these moments. I can’t help it. Listen to the lyrics about this sweet song by The Accidentals that became the soundtrack for our Michigan experience. I actually saw them perform in Arkansas before I realized they were from Michigan!
Home of the water, Canada’s daughter, nestled in the crescent moon’s grin. Michigan and again…
I love it.
Soft shoulders of sand dunes.
Perfect.
We wade out to the knees- the water, 45 degrees.



Yep. That’s what we did in Lake Michigan after hiking over 9 hills of dunes. This reward punctuated our Sleeping Bear Dunes Climb.


I really cannot believe how amazing this place is!
