Visitor’s guide, photos, and information for Castaway Bay in Sandusky. We enjoyed an overnight stay, the water park and dinner in exchange for this promotional post. All opinions are my own. Your experience may differ. I have to admit, I LOVE a mini-vacation with my family. Since we all enjoy water activities, Castaway Bay is a great option for a…

When places are easily accessible and surrounded by other fun things to do, I call that a WIN-WIN! The Southfield Public Library is one of those such places. Located at 26300 Evergreen Road in Southfield, it is literally 2…

One of our absolute favorite libraries to visit is the Farmington Community Library (Main Branch). It is located at 32737 W. Twelve Mile in Farmington Hills, and is easily accessible…

A draw for local cyclists because of the velodrome, this park also brings in families looking to hike, picnic and play. In the winter, there is a wonderful toboggan hill and you might…
