Funtime in the Fall

Fall is upon us. This is my favorite time of year. Cool weather, falling leaves, the big harvest, and the great pumpkin help make autumn a great time of year. My favorite things to do are to go to the pumpkin patches where most big farms have a large operation with lots of things to do for the whole family. Our local pumpkin farm not only provides the best pumpkins but they offer tractor rides, haunted houses, animals, petting zoo, corn mazes and lots of yummy foods. Check out your local pumpkin farm for the same kind of fall fun.

Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center in Alpena, MI

The Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center in Alpena, Michigan is a must see for any visitor to upper Michigan area of the lower peninsula. The history is absolutley amazing. I had no idea that the Great Lakes had claimed so many ships to their storms and rocky shores. They shows maps of where a lot of the shipwrecks are located and most are active dive sites.
