Summer Time in Michigan Should Include a Picnic
Our summer has gone by so fast this year. It's hard to believe we are nearing the end of August. And picnics, which were once a summer tradition for families, don't happen much anymore. Honestly I can"t remember the last time our family went on a picnic. I think the closest we got to a picnic was a family reunion where everyone brought a "covered dish."
When I was a kid, whenever our family was going on a road trip, my mom always made a picnic lunch and we would pull over and have a picnic. Those are still great memories for me.
If you would like to take your family on a picnic, there are some amazing places in our beautiful state to do so. Make the most of the rest of the summer and start planning a cool family road trip today!
