1. Harbor Grand Hotel and Suites
We were debating between the Harbor Grand and Marina Grand. They are sister properties and from what I could tell, had similar amenities. Harbor Grand is closer to the main drag (not that we walked there since it was cold but we could if we wanted…More »

7. Hickory Creek Winery
This was our first stop of our visit to three wineries in southwest Michigan. We were a little uncomfortable since we had never done a wine tasting. It is small and intimate which some people might enjoy but I like the wineries with more space. The…More »
