Hey! My wife and I love road trips. LOVE them. We've planned a great summer adventure and am just wondering if anyone had any tips for us on our latest jaunt.
We're flying into Detroit on June 22. Hitting up a Tigers game that night.
We were then going to bum around Detroit and/or Ann Arbor if anyone has any hints.
From there, we were going to head on up to Mackinac Island.
After there, we were going to go on the Upper Peninsula to Green Bay. Then from Green Bay to Milwaukee for a Brewers game and maybe hang in Madison. Then we're wrapping up in Chicago and staying w/ some friends.
So, if you have any advice for places to eat/things to see/things to do anywhere in Michigan, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Green Bay, Milwaukee and the rest of the great state of Wisconsin I'm all ears!

You should definitely plan for a few days in Flint:

If you eat meat, you gotta try a Flint-Style Coney. Far superior to the soggy Detroit version.

The lamestream media will tell you to go to Angelo's.

West Michigan gets alotta of press with its dunes and beaches and wineries and beauty and stuff. The Thumb however is quite underrated:
