Pure Michigan. Anyone who has really traveled the state knows exactly what it means.

FYI🌷 The Tulip Festival in Holland was May 1, 2021 - May 9, 2021 It's still winter here in March 🥶

Michigan is one of the most beautiful places for a nature lover...and the people are lovely!

I know other areas use the old line - "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes". But as you can see, it is literally true here in Michigan. P.S. Holland's TULIP FESTIVAL is in May, not March. It still snows off and on right into May, some years. P.S.2 - You were wise not to try the water when the wind is fierce. The undertow can be quite dangerous.

Grew up in Michigan and spent a good portion of my life there, having relocated, it fun to visit the places again with you - yep Michigan weather is notable!!!

Michigan weather is the most unpredictable of all the 50 states. When it's nice it's very, very nice though. My DIL went to Hope College in Holland. It's a cute town. To bad you didn't get to Ann Arbor, where my son went to college (Go BLUE). Ann Arbor has great restaurants, breweries and lots of cute shops and places to just walk around and enjoy the ambience of the best college town in America.

Dark Horse has the best vibe, food and beer 🥰

Also pro tip. MI state parks are super crowded this time of year. Consider National Forest camping and also casino campgrounds. Little River Casino in Manistee has a nice full hook up campground. That is where we stayed before we fell in love with MI and bought a house here.

The tulip festival is in May each year and not March.

Tulip Time in Holland is in May and primarily held downtown but there are events all over the city including the Northside. If ever in Grand Haven again you have to go to Arturo’s for your Mexican food!

Looked like Rosy Mound trail.. I love living here.

We spent memorial weekend at grand haven. Perfect weather great time. Sorry you didn’t have good weather ! (Water was cold couldn’t swim).

This was a great vlog. Nice that you got to go to Holland and Grand Haven. Did you pick up some wooden shoes while there?😂. Just kidding! Sad you didn’t get there in time for the tulip 🌷 festival. They are really nice and fun. Nice you got to go to a brewery. Sorry you ran into bad weather and had trouble with your tire. I think they were getting part of that tropical storm. The food you had looked pretty good! Wherever you go next I hope you have better luck. Especially with the weather. Hope you had a great 4th of July. 🇺🇸. Have a great week travel safe. See you next Monday!

You are in my country. I was born in Holland Mi and love that town. Sorry the weather didn't cooperate. Keep following the lakeshore all the way to Traverse City. Stop in Muskegon, Pentwater, Ludington, Sleeping Bear National Park and then Traverse City. You must of been planning this trip for a while to get reservations at Grand Haven. Those campsites sell out in hours and same for Holland. Happy travels. PS: Take highway M22 from Frankfort to Sleeping Bear NP. You will not be disappointed.
