This summer, we’re headed to Lake Cadillac in Cadillac Lake, Michigan for a sunny family vacation with the whole gang! Our Airbnb lakefront vacation home has 5 bedrooms, 2 baths, a 4 season solarium facing Lake Cadillac, pier with boats and much more. Part of the adventure of heading to a new community for a vacation, has always been planning ahead by reaching out to the local Chamber of Commerce and visitors bureau to get area info packets and hopefully a map!

I get excited about an upcoming travel destination by looking at Instagram’s huge collection of local influencers. Let’s enjoy the beauty and fun of Michigan with a best-of list of 10 favorite Michigan based influencers popular on Instagram.

Are you looking for a durable, stylish flip-flop which keeps your feet free of germs?

Feet are gross. They’re sweaty and dirty because our feet get lots of use! When I start wearing flip-flops, I wear them frequently. So I cycle through men’s flip-flops at least twice a summer. This year, I discovered Showaflops, a fun and stylish slide which can be worn almost anywhere. I’m excited to try Showflops this summer on glamping trips here in Wisconsin and at the pool and beach nearby.
