This is why many Michiganders never leave the state for vacation....you're never more than 6 miles from a lake no matter where you are in the state...and that sand...it's everywhere and just inches under the top soil in our yards. Come back in winter to ski and snowboard...ice fish...hunt... Michigan has it all! 💙💙💙
Bayley Millerov me either...hubby says which direction are we headed and we go...got lost 2x in The Manistee National Forest last month in a dericho storm...omg! 😅
@@davidjsouth231 I'm retired in Michigan Dave, I highly recommend it. In fact, the RV is packed and we are headed to Traverse City today for a little 5 day outing.
Hey guys! Thanks for watching 😀! Booking a trip to TC? - Start here - bit.ly/2X8F1g9 👍 If you liked this and want to help us out a little... Please give this a like 👍 and leave a comment 😁 Thanks for the love ❤️! 💃 🕺
Thanks so much for giving Traverse City justice! North West Michigan is one of the best places I believe, and Traverse City is so diverse and fun. Great vid you two!
Thank you for visiting our wonderful state of Michigan and more specifically Traverse City! I just wrapped up an amazing Memorial Day Weekend there, glad to see people from out of state enjoying it!
Well I just recently moved back home to Michigan after ten years out west in Las Vegas. All my upcoming travel plans involve me rediscovering my home state! Picture Rocks National Lakeshore in the Upper Peninsula is my next planned trip this summer!
Local travel is some of the best! Living in California, we tend to overlook how many great weekend trips are around us. One doesn't always need to board a plane for a great vacation.
I passed Traverse City by car once. I was impressed by how nice it looked. I plan on spending time there. I believe my cousin lived there when he managed hotels once.
I visited here from Australia yrs and yrs ago and bloody loved it beautiful place I stayed in Spring Lake in grand Haven, the entire coastline from Holland I think correct me if im wrong all the way to mackinaw way nth was beautiful mate i will stay with me forever cheers from Sydney Australia.
Well I've lived in Traverse City for 60 of my 66 years and from the top of the Hotel Indigo you can't see Lake Michigan you're looking at West Grand Traverse Bay. Lake Michigan is roughly 25 miles from there. When you were at the Sand Dunes you were looking at Lake Michigan. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@@codyquinn8646 well when you live here then you can tell me all about it. Like my first post said I've lived here for 60 out of the 66 years. The bay's are part of the lake, but you can't see the lake and I'm going to stick by my post.
I’ve been visiting the area for over 30 years the only negative is how crowded (tourists) it has become. I have family in the area; I can remember not hearing any traffic for hours and now you can barely go minutes. Great video guys! But don’t tell anybody else 😉😂
TC, MI ROCKS!!!! I live there. You both didn't even walk all the way to Lake Michigan from the dunes...I have lived in over 1,500 cities and towns and I choose here!!!!!!!!! So many places to explore, even living there for over 10 years I'm still finding new things. Go MOOMERS
My softball team went there last summer and it was awesome! If your up for the challenge and are physical fit I highly recommend going down the sand dune. It’s the most surreal feeling because the way day is surreal. We would simply take small jumps out and end up falling like 5 plus feet before landing on the ground again. The water at the bottom is so cool and refreshing and extremely clear. Once you cool off and get your views worth begin the climb back up. It took me and two others about 45 minutes to get back up with breaks. This is definitely a rare and awesome opportunity so if your ever in Traverse City, drink a lot of water and eat something good because you don’t want to miss out on this if possible! Beware those because it is wayyy bigger in person and even then it still seems to keep going as your climbing back up
Great info! Love the drone shot above the paddle board. The water is so clear it looks like your floating. You mentioned its hard to believe that something like this is in the midwest. It's called flyover land for a reason. So the "coasters" keep right on flying. Great lakes has the draw of the ocean, great roads and 4 seasons that give you 4 reasons to just keep going back.
I do the Traverse City Ghost Tours in Traverse City. It's so easy talking about this beautiful city. Love the buildings, love the history, love the people! I have traveled all over the world, but I keep coming back home!
Must go during the Cherry Festival............ first week of July? It was when I was there..............Best 4th of July in my life........Blue Angels and 1hr 45 min fireworks from the perspective of a boat on the Bay.........................awesome...........1997 was a good year.
I know some people are saying to go during cherry fest,but if you actually a local you know not to go NEAR downtown bc it's packed and the traffic lasts for HOURS
We live here. It's great. Get tired of TC? Hit Charlevoix, Petoskey, Harbor Springs. Then head south to Manistee, Grand Haven etc. Sooooo much in Michigan.
I love the video. Never heard of you guys before. Thanks for sharing your trip. I live just a bit north of Traverse City, in Suttons Bay. Some things I would recommend is mentioning the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes are not in TC, they are in Glen Arbor. TC tends to take credit for the dunes(and even the cherries) as obviously its more well-known than the smaller surrounding towns. I say they take credit for the cherries as well simply because the majority of the Cherry Orchards are in Leelanau County and not in Grand Traverse County. As a local, and a Cherry Farmers wife, don't get me wrong TC is fantastic for the most part I just like to let people know the differences. :D
I love traverse city! I live in Michigan and try to go there 1-2 times year just to get up north. There are lot's of things to do there/around town. The best time is the Cherry Festival which is late June to end of 1st week in July.
Awesome video! I’ve lived outside of traverse city for the past 6 years! Great spot to be! Just to be a nuisance and correct you at the end- your beer was an “M-43” not an “M-22” it’s a beer from old nation out of Williamson, MI. Awesome content guys!
I just want to give a shout out to the "Iceman Cometh Mountain Bike Race" that ends in Traverse City. The race is always the first weekend in November and draws thousands of Racers for what is usually a cold and damp weekend.
Thanks for getting me excited to vacation to Traverse City. I live 3 1/2hrs south in Michigan and have never vacationed there. The hotel looks awesome I’ll be sure to check this one out!👍
Detroit was once the richest city in the country and was thriving on all cylinders until the liberal democrats got the reigns of power and drove it into being the garbage dump it's been for the past 50-years.
Been wandering across the Michigan shorelines for years. Especially like the beached and dunes along Lake Michigan from Warren Dunes all the way to Mackinaw city.
Born and raised there. Definitely a hidden gem that is overlooked by most of the world! It has been growing a ton over the past few years though. Glad you enjoyed your time there! Glad you went to the dunes! The water there spoiled me for sure. I am sad now that I live in a different state and dont have pretty lakes 10 minutes away in any direction. Downtown is so cute and fun. Love it!
I swear UA-cam is stalking me again like why am I getting this stuff in my recommendations when I literally live here Edit: my family raises cows and sells them at the northwestern Michigan fair and my little sisters last calf was bought by mr. moomer. He’s a cool old man. People think moomers is a big company but in reality it’s just a cool old man who just loves ice cream.
People up here don't put Detroit down it's all Michigan love but when anyone anywhere else in America and people ask were you from everyone says the same thing um from Detroit so don't get up here and talk bad about Detroit.
I usually rent a cabin in Wears Valley Tennessee near Pigeon Forge, TN. Saving that trip for Thanksgiving week. I’m here to learn what my State has to offer me and my 13 yr old son.. I’ve been here but I was only about 7-8 yrs old. Don’t remember much others than sand dunes
There was a murder suicide at hotel indigo this year and a homeless man had his throat slit by some kid who bragged about it on Snapchat after dumping his body in Boardman lake. There's also a huge heroin problem and a ton of human trafficking. I was born and raised there and finally got the Fuck out. Its not at all what it's made out to be but I'm glad you two were safe and had a good time. As an ex resident, it's beautiful and great for tourism but there's a lot of dark stuff to uncover.
Nice video! This is why I live here👍🏻 lots to do. Salmon fishing is one of my favorites, try looking at those dunes from Lake Michigan in the morning. Reeling in a large Coho or King is just icing on the cake, your day is instantly made awesome...
Careful drinking and biking, not sure how far apart you did those two activities, but technically drinking and biking is still a legal issue of some sort, I don't know the details but just make sure for future vids! Glad you enjoyed TC!
this is a great video, thanks for posting! I'm planning a trip there in a few weeks and will definitely be checking some of these spots out. I'm curious where you went paddleboarding (around the 9 min mark)? The water looks so clear--would love to check that spot out as well!
This is why many Michiganders never leave the state for vacation....you're never more than 6 miles from a lake no matter where you are in the state...and that sand...it's everywhere and just inches under the top soil in our yards.

Lee Ann TOO TRUE I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE THIS PERFECT MITTEN STATE

Bernie wife says no
Awesome video! We're glad you had a great time!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked the video, we loved making it. We'd love to come back to Michigan soon. Where do you recommend we go next?
Roamaroo Gotta see the upper peninsula next, Drummond island and Marquette
Daniel, Thanks for the recommendation. We'll put those on our list.
Saugatuck, Holland, Ottawa Beach, Interlochen, Northern Michigan University.
Great video, btw!
Enough with the pure Michigan ads 🤦♀️

I feel like visiting Michigan should be on everyone’s bucket list (unless you live in Michigan like me)
You feel like this until you become like California
You should visit Torch Lake.
zhawendaagozi Bezhik I’ve been there
Its Splintrz, it’s so beautiful
We love swimmers itch lol
Dont tell them about here
No.you shouldn’t. Save your dough and see the rest of the world.

I'm from Bloomfield Hills & it's been years since I visited Traverse City. Another trip is planned due to this video. Thanks!

As a resident of TC, I'm thrilled to see these positive video's popping up about our lovely town. Glad that you had a good time!

I'm from Philippines and I've always wanted to live in Michigan LOL
My wife and I live in Traverse City. We vacation all over the US but we always find ourselves glad to be home. I love it here!

Looks so fun. Hope to visit this summer

Do you not realize the bay is part of lake michigan?
@@codyquinn8646 yes but you cannot see the lake just the bays. Can you not understand that.
@@rachelsnyder295 you can see the lake because the bays are the lake.
@@codyquinn8646 well when you live here then you can tell me all about it. Like my first post said I've lived here for 60 out of the 66 years. The bay's are part of the lake, but you can't see the lake and I'm going to stick by my post.

Traverse City is the best gem of Michigan
It's great to have so much fun on a road trip!!
Thanks for an awesome list! Heading there tomorrow.

Traverse city is amazing . Little fleet was my favorite experiences.

OMG I LIVE IN TRAVERSE CITY
Emilee Monroe it would e funny if you lived in Monroe lol

Moomers is the best ice cream ever! Traverse is by far my favorite place in the world to visit.
Its just regular ice cream haha nothing special
Traverse city native here🙋🏼♂️ if you’re ever back I’d love to show y’all some amazing places around here
Would love to visit TC! Looks amazing. Would love to eat the cherries there. Yum. Cheers from Chicago!
It's only a short flight from Chicago!
Roamaroo Yes! So close to Chicago. Hopefully soon! Love your videos. Keep up the great work 👍🏻💕
Thanks so much!
Cheers from TC! There are flights from Chicago or you could take the scenic route and drive up the coast.
Love that you enjoyed my city!
It has a lot to offer!
I know some people are saying to go during cherry fest,but if you actually a local you know not to go NEAR downtown bc it's packed and the traffic lasts for HOURS
I was there during cherry fest and I enjoyed it a lot to be honest. But well we were on foot anyway and didn't have to drive a car.
Did school at NMC in the early 80s. Best city on the planet
It’s heaven on earth! My husband and I drive up every year for anniversary!! Truly our favorite place!
One day when you can afford to travel outside Michigan. You’ll think otherwise.
Go during cherry festival when I went one of the best times of my life
M
We live here. It's great. Get tired of TC? Hit Charlevoix, Petoskey, Harbor Springs. Then head south to Manistee, Grand Haven etc. Sooooo much in Michigan.
Yes sir. It’s beautiful up there 💪🏾

Rabie, thanks for the kind words. Have you been to Traverse City?
nice work guys! great footage!
Thank you! Have you been to TC?
We have! We actually recently bought a house in Cheboygan that we are fixing up for an Airbnb. We love it up here!
@@thebecktriplets That's awesome! Best of luck with the BNB! 😀
I always go to the workshop they have excellent food too!
M
I live in northern Michigan you should visit Houghton lake sometime. Largest inland lake in Michigan so huge great for fishing. You’d love it here 💕💖
I totally agree
Houghton Lake. Shallow shit lake of the north. Be sure to visit K Mart...oh wait that’s abandoned now.
Agree. Torch, Elk and Charlevoix are waaaaaaay better
Danke für das tolle Video.
So happy I came across your video!
We are too! Welcome 😀❤️
Just visited this weekend, Traverse City is awesome place
Hotel indigo is actually a veiw of the bay glad you liked it here ❤️
oM
Glad you enjoyed my home :3 Its cool seeing other people seeing these things for the first time!
Come on vacation, leave on probation. Fall is a great sight but avoid in the summer or it could be a bummer.
HA! I love this. Sounds like you've gotten into a little trouble in Michigan :)
Its the motto amongst locals, we send it off with the poor fudgies who stumble upon it ;)
When you get arrested here and you are a fugie the tcpd say this to you😂😂😂
That sums up the whole state really.
I just want to give a shout out to the "Iceman Cometh Mountain Bike Race" that ends in Traverse City. The race is always the first weekend in November and draws thousands of Racers for what is usually a cold and damp weekend.
Youu guys should come down to northport where i live its on the pinky near you guys in traverse its awsome
Thanks for getting me excited to vacation to Traverse City. I live 3 1/2hrs south in Michigan and have never vacationed there. The hotel looks awesome I’ll be sure to check this one out!👍
Jennifer H you’re very welcome! Have a blast in TC!
Fluffy Unicorn do you live in traverse city? 😀
Michigan is so awesome. It doesn’t get enough credit because Detroit ruins our reputation. When you put the flight of beer down I was like “yassssss”
Detroit was once the richest city in the country and was thriving on all cylinders until the liberal democrats got the reigns of power and drove it into being the garbage dump it's been for the past 50-years.
Lindsay's Life Cafe haha!! Love this! ❤️❤️
Don't do that to Detroit it's all still Michigan love.
Been wandering across the Michigan shorelines for years. Especially like the beached and dunes along Lake Michigan from Warren Dunes all the way to Mackinaw city.
Aye I’m glad you like my home town.
Born and raised there. Definitely a hidden gem that is overlooked by most of the world! It has been growing a ton over the past few years though. Glad you enjoyed your time there! Glad you went to the dunes! The water there spoiled me for sure. I am sad now that I live in a different state and dont have pretty lakes 10 minutes away in any direction.

I can not wait for our annual trip to traverse city in couple of weeks!
They are so cute together! 🥺
Thanks so much for the excellent video, informative and excellent editing
I love camping at south higgins. A lot of thing the water is clearer than torch lake.
I swear UA-cam is stalking me again like why am I getting this stuff in my recommendations when I literally live here
Edit: my family raises cows and sells them at the northwestern Michigan fair and my little sisters last calf was bought by mr. moomer. He’s a cool old man. People think moomers is a big company but in reality it’s just a cool old man who just loves ice cream.
Teletubbie haha that’s how I got here too
Goin' to the fair, goin' to the fair, goin' to th' Northwest Michigan fair...
I am from Michigan anz i been thinking about moving to traverse city Michigan. This video kinda make me want to move there even more
I’ve been to the dunes on a school trip for lunch and then we went to a boat museum and black smiths shop I love living in traverse City
You guys Gotta check out Mackinaw island...it’s like going back in time.
Authorize King thanks for the recommendation! We’ve heard great things about Mackinaw. Any specific spots we should check out?
Mackinac Island
People up here don't put Detroit down it's all Michigan love but when anyone anywhere else in America and people ask were you from everyone says the same thing um from Detroit so don't get up here and talk bad about Detroit.
English. It’s not your first language. Please stay in shithole Detroit.
Taproot cider house is another great place to eat and drink
Juniper love taproot!
Omg this just popped up I live in Tc and it’s the best
Im scrolling through recommendations and I saw this I love in TC and it's kinda nice to see the tourist side of TC since I've lived here all my life
6 mile walk from the dunes to Lake Michigan. I've done it. I'm a michigander
The view from the roof of Hotel Indigo is not of Lake Michigan. It’s of the Grand Traverse Bay which feeds into Lake Michigan.
It's still Lake Michigan.
Love to see you in Michigan. Traverse city is a must in Michigan. Always sleeping bear dunes is the best.
Currently living in traverse for college. Best location to be here
I live in Cadillac, which is 45 minutes from TC. Northern Michigan is a great place to live!!!!
Been there at least 10 times great video
I usually rent a cabin in Wears Valley Tennessee near Pigeon Forge, TN. Saving that trip for Thanksgiving week. I’m here to learn what my State has to offer me and my 13 yr old son..
I’ve been here but I was only about 7-8 yrs old. Don’t remember much others than sand dunes
Glad yall like my hometown
There was a murder suicide at hotel indigo this year and a homeless man had his throat slit by some kid who bragged about it on Snapchat after dumping his body in Boardman lake. There's also a huge heroin problem and a ton of human trafficking. I was born and raised there and finally got the Fuck out. Its not at all what it's made out to be but I'm glad you two were safe and had a good time. As an ex resident, it's beautiful and great for tourism but there's a lot of dark stuff to uncover.
Nice video! This is why I live here👍🏻 lots to do. Salmon fishing is one of my favorites, try looking at those dunes from Lake Michigan in the morning. Reeling in a large Coho or King is just icing on the cake, your day is instantly made awesome...
You guys should come visit Petoskey, Michigan!

Glad to you loved it! I sure love living here! #bornandraised
Traverse city is amazing! The mall is my favorite
The mall?! Interesting? We never checked it out.
Cool 😎 video 😊
I was born and raised in traverse city :) very beautiful place
So am I!!
Very nice place can wait to visit 🇵🇭
I'm from Michigan and I've never been to traverse city
Forgot interlochen arts, cherryfest, the casino in Williamsburg turtlecreek. Camping everywhere in northern Michigan

Careful drinking and biking, not sure how far apart you did those two activities, but technically drinking and biking is still a legal issue of some sort, I don't know the details but just make sure for future vids! Glad you enjoyed TC!
Check out the golf courses. World class!
Awesome video! Will visit Traverse city next week and this visual tour helps me to coordinate our trip so much! Subscribed, thanks!
Have fun! You'll love it there. Do you plan on hiking the dunes?
Also I suggest going down the Manistee river, it's a really nice river with clear waters to
My favorite place in the whole wide world. Great video 💕
Dernali, Traverse city is a fantastic place. Do you visit it often?
I live here. Awesome place... just dont come during the winter time. Might freeze.
M
My fave American town 😍
this is a great video, thanks for posting! I'm planning a trip there in a few weeks and will definitely be checking some of these spots out. I'm curious where you went paddleboarding (around the 9 min mark)? The water looks so clear--would love to check that spot out as well!
I’m here now I live in southern Michigan so I take a 4 hour drive to here every year
