What To Do At Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

My first memories of the outdoors can directly be attributed to my mom. My first camping trip was a trip of a lifetime. I was in junior high school at the time, and why she decided to do this still puzzles me today.

Summer Family Vacation Blast 2017 is upon us!
