When you think of the winter season, what do you immediately think of?

For me, I immediately think of a piping hot cup of hot chocolate with a lot of fluffy marshmallows.

I think of a cozy living room with lots of fluffy rugs, fuzzy socks, a comfy onesie, and a fire going in the fireplace.

When I think of winter, I don't even think of the weather outside, I think of the cozy vibes that I want to have during a winter storm.

I think of everything as cozy, comfy, and fuzzy.

The best part of thinking about and wanting a cozy winter moment is that the state of Michigan is a winter wonderland.

Since Michigan is a winter wonderland, there are several reasons why you should explore the state while it is blanketed with snow.

Since the kids are on school holiday break and you may have racked up a few PTO days that you could use, why not take a winter wonderland vacation?

You could grab some skis and snowboards, and take the winter weather by storm.

Plus, there are plenty of destinations that are only a few hours' drive. So you don't have to book a flight or take off more days than you need to, you can simply take a weekend trip.

If you want a perfect winter getaway, look no further than your very own backyard.
