Besides, I hear Belle Isle is beautiful and lively\u00a0in the summer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Traverse City:<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The last time I visited Traverse City, I almost killed myself driving home during a snowstorm in April (also, snow in April?!). However, I will disregard this unfortunate incident as Traverse City was a beautiful town even when covered in snow and ice. And, I can also\u00a0make a quick trip to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, which should already be on your Michigan bucket list.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Roller Blading on the Riverwalk:<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> First of all, it is absolutely essential that I buy roller blades. Because hello, they are super hip and fun. And secondly because refer back to the first reason.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Turnip Rock, Port Austin:<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I have not heard so much about a rock since the one that Jesus moved. Supposedly a must-see park in Michigan during the summer, it deserves a visit. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Diamond Jack\u2019s River Tours:<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I can\u2019t tell if it\u2019s the allure of a name such as Diamond Jack or the idea of being on a ~boat~, but Diamond Jack\u2019s River Tours is definitely on my to-do list.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With all of these things to look forward to this summer, I can confidently say that I am ready for summer!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My time here in Detroit is coming closer and closer to an end, so it is absolutely imperative that I make my last summer in Detroit the best one yet!
