My wife and I used to go up to Charlevoix every Labor Day for a long weekend. It's all beautiful up in that area. Harbor Springs has a great antique boat show every year too.
I went to school in St. Ignace. My brother graduated from St. Ignace. The car show the last Saturday of June is always a great way to spend a beautiful day.
Sorry for the rambling on about "Up North"... It's a Michigan thing.
If a man is a Michigander, is a wowman a Michigoose????
