I chased the sun all the way to California in a desperate search for the sun-dappled, glittery, dry vacation we all dream for. Indeed I found it- in a coastal college town, wine country, LA beaches, and even the desert. Our three stops: San Luis Obispo, Palm Springs, and Santa Monica.

With my tiny hand in his, we’d wander from one end to the other, admiring the mosaic murals and the ten-story high ceilings in between. The appreciation I have now is thanks to him. Here are my favorite things about Union Terminal and what you mustn’t miss!

A couple of years back, Phil and I took a trip out to Saugatuck, Michigan, in the heart of the “Michigan Fruit Belt”. It was early fall, the air was just starting to turn crisp, and the fruit trees were exploding with their sweet and tart flavors. It was the perfect time for apple-picking, which was at the forefront of our minds and helped us make the decision on where to stay. What we didn’t realize was that there would be so much more than just apple-picking to enjoy in this town full of flavor. If you’re looking for a relaxing trip full of variety, look no further than Saugatuck, Michigan.
