Springtime in Michigan Sizzles
From blooming flowers and longer days to countless rounds of golf, bike rides, and leisurely walks spring means something special to everyone. And while the cold weather might be sticking around for now, warm weather is on the horizon and Michigan promises a plethora of exciting things to see and do.
Last year, we asked our fan to share what they like about springtime in Michigan. Below is a roundup of just some of our favorite springtime pleasure from a few of our Pure Michigan social media fans.
"Opening my windows and letting Old Man Winter out. Cleaning off the patio furniture, planting some veggies and flowers. taking walks without freezing my toes off."
"Spring brings the promise of new life, birds returning, and the hope of sunny days at Lake Michigans beaches to come!
"Good festivals and great beaches
"Getting out and biking and going up north to see family at the lake...
"Smell of lilacs... Many shades of green as trees bud, looking for wildflowers popping up on my woodland walk, warm breezes blowing in my face
