If you can't travel to the Netherlands to see the colorful rows of tulips in spring, you CAN take a day trip to Holland, Michigan to see them. It's pretty much the same, right?

There are so many great spots throughout Michigan you can explore with a full week off! We just took a Spring Break Staycation to Lansing and had a wonderful time.
