Charleston, West Virginia’s unofficial motto is “Hip, Historic, Almost heaven.” I was skeptical about this claim, but after spending a beautiful fall weekend there, I can confidently say it’s definitely hip and historic. As far as it being “almost heaven”, I’ll leave that up to you!
Have you ever followed a recipe for anything titled “the best” and been extremely disappointed? I have. I’ve tried about 10 “best blueberry muffin” recipes, and none of them were as good as my friend Amanda’s. While I know calling this “the best travel itinerary recipe” could welcome some people who don’t like the taste, I still believe it’s got all the necessary ingredients for a great trip.
When people share with me about their upcoming trip, I often hear the same things. I also tend to respond to those things with little tidbits of advice. I try not to be obnoxious, but I am genuinely excited for people to go somewhere that I just want them to enjoy every second of it. Over time, I’ve realized I hear the same four things over and over from people right before their trip. Here are those four things and my little tidbit of advice.
If you’ve been reading me for a while, you know I love Michigan. So much so that we invested in some real estate with two other families right on Lake Huron about 5 hours from Columbus. We want to be able to explore everything Michigan has to offer, and this will open the door! We just had a family vacation in East Tawas, which you can guess is just east of Tawas City. It’s a beautiful area with lots to do, and within close driving distance from lots to do. If you like lakes, forests, cute towns and flies, you’ll love Tawas.
