    Now that summer is winding down and the family vacations, reunions, weddings, and graduations are memories, it’s the season to do something for you. There’s still plenty of time and nice weather for traveling Up North. Traverse City and Petoskey are free of the crush of tourists, which makes exploring these spectacular cities a treat. Or take in a weekend of golf and spa time at Shanty Creek.

    Fall brings about the desire to stimulate the brain, but if you’re beyond heading back to school, consider attending an amazing production sponsored by the University Musical Society in Ann Arbor. With programs ranging from symphonies to songstresses, this year’s season is bold and enchanting.

    Of course, so many great things are happening right now in Detroit, a weekend getaway might not even take you out of the city limits. Tour the fabulous Ford Piquette Plant, birthplace of the Model T, or enjoy dinner and a show at MotorCity Casino. Who knows — wherever you decide to go, this just may be your lucky weekend!
