Michigan
Fans of sun and sand love Michigan almost as much as snowboarders and skiers do. The Great Lakes State is home to four spectacular seasons that showcase the beauty and bounty of nature. Our state motto says it best: “If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you.” (Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam, circumspice.)
