We had a great lunch at Stefono's in Manistee, and we had to hit the candy store after. The Port City Candy store is situated downtown in the middle of all the action, and was a huge hit with our kids. Check out the video and you will see how big of a hit it was!

Okay...So...JQ99 and Pure Michigan spent the entire summer Exploring Magnificent Michigan and giving away Destination Packages away so you you could explore our great state as well, but...That ended last week, however...All of our recaps are still here, so feel free to peruse the blog to read about our Summer Adventures in Michigan!

Also...Don't be too sad...Fall is just around the corner, if not already here, and that means it's time for COLOR TOURS! So...JQ99 and Pure Michigan will be teaming up for 5 weeks this fall to Explore Magnificent Michigan once again!

Check back for more details...It kicks off next week! (Monday, September 14th!)

This is the first video of our trip to Manistee County. The older girls and my husband took an exciting airplane ride over downtown Manistee and Lake Michigan. It was a beautiful day for an airplane ride, and the girls had a blast. This was our first trip to Manistee County and we were amazed by all there was to do there.
