LAKE MICHIGAN IS WORTH THE HYPE😍
I’ve always heard how the Great Lakes are amazing, but growing up around pretty standard brown “what’s at the bottom” lakes.. I didn’t get the hype. We got to experience Lake Michigan for the first time the other day and now I get it. It was incredible. Not only vast like the ocean, but so blue!
