I was so thrilled to see the show Good Morning America feature Sleeping Bear Dunes, Michigan, as their "Most Beautiful Place in America" this morning! I spent most of my summers there while growing up, learning to canoe and kayak on the Crystal River, snorkeling around ship wreaks, watching meteor showers, skipping petosky stones, enjoying lunches in Glen Arbor, eating all things cherry at the Cherry Republic, and, of course, racing my brother and sister (and occasionally my dad) up and down the beautiful dunes at Sleeping Bear! The summers are wonderful and the fall is always breath-taking.

I've traveled to many incredible places that I remember often. But Sleeping Bear has always been my favorite spot on the planet. It's not just the sights, it's the sounds, the smells, the wonderful people and the relaxed culture. If you ever get the chance to visit, go!
