Lake Michigan is so beautiful . The water can be
very cold but it was nice when we went (late August).
Hotel:
I used Priceline for the first this trip. I did alot
of research on prices and places but to be honest
it was overwhelming! I bid too low at first trying
$50 and then , being tired of looking, I increased
my bid to $70. I ended up with 4 night for just
under $300 (after taxes).
Food:
Breakfast -
free at the hotel :)
Lunch -
Deli fresh sandwiches , lunchables &
chips , fruit ..typical lunch box items
Dinner -
Hotel had a fridge & microwave.
We ate in at least 2 nights having
Brats, pizza rolls , eggrolls (me)
We ate at Applebees on kids eat free night .
We had pizza at a local parlor , yum!
Entertainment :
This is were we splurged !
1 1/2 hour cruise http://saugatuckboatcruises.com/
Dune ride http://www.saugatuckduneride.com/
Duck ride http://www.harborducks.com/
Free or almost free (parking)
beach
park
Hotel pool and hot tub
Gas and Turnpike Fees :
gas-
$50-$75
(not sure because my tank was full b4 we left)
Tolls-
about $12 there ..took scenic route back home
In the end I spent a rough total of about $800.
I traveled alone with my kids (hubby has a new job)
We extended the trip and visited my bother in
Canton, MI. He just had a baby so I really enjoyed
this part of the trip!
Our trip was 6 days long (not a full week , my
son had school orientation so we had to leave
on Monday morning).
I splurged on entertainment and it was worth it.
The duck ride starts as a land tour and then a water
tour. It brings up its wheels and then floats. How
cool is that ?? The Dune ride was a blast. It was like
a rollercoaster without a track......Awesome !
The boat ride was just absolutely gorgeous !!
This trip was all about the kids . I did whatever they
wanted. Honestly they would have been happy in the
Hotel pool though , lol.
