2024 Michigan Family Vacation Day 5: Sleeping Bear Dunes
Today we packed up the trailer and headed down the other side of MI toward Holland.
Of course we started off with coffee and pastries. This place had some neat fans.
The overlook was insanely windy. It might win the prize for windiest place we've been. It was hard to catch my breath.

The scenic drive was not very scenic. It really was mostly woods. I love woods, don't get me wrong, but I was thinking we'd see more of the shoreline. Oh well. There was a great area where we could leave our trailer. After taking the scenic loop, we grabbed the trailer and then headed to the Dune Climb.
Pictures do not do the dunes justice. They are STEEP and they just keep going. After hiking up a huge dune, it levels off for a bit. Then there's another dune. Again, it finally levels off. And then there's a dip and a dune and a dip and a dune. I would have LOVED to keep going but everyone else was done and back at the car and it started to drizzle. The sand was deep and soft. It was an excellent workout.
Everyone was hungry so we grabbed Mexican in Manistee, MI.
