Having fun with friends and family doesn’t need to take a lot of planning. Sometimes the best of times come from a spur-of-the-moment decision of, “Hey, let’s do something together.” Why not create one of those snapshot memories with a weekend getaway? Hopping in a car for a short trip up north can take you to the Petoskey area for a weekend of outdoor pleasure including hiking, kayaking, golf, or shopping in its many quaint stores. Or, just a bit southwest of Petoskey, you can savor the shores of Traverse City with its beaches, boating, and restaurants galore. If you decide an adventure closer to home will suit you best, then what about a weekend at MotorCity Casino? With its four-star restaurant, live music, and 13,000-square-foot spa, everyone in your party will have something to enjoy. Don’t let summer get away without sharing a weekend or two with the friends and family you love.
