Visiting Michigan with my boyfriend was great! We visited Michigan State University -it's huge!- and we had decent weather so we decided to go visit the big lake! I was so excited to see lighthouses! I've always thought they were very majestic and to be able to see them up close was amazing! I was a bit disappointed that the weren't lit, but apparently there aren't many boats on the water in mid-March. I was also very excited to see ducks on the lakes! I am currently working for a waterfowl biologist and I've seen photos and mounts of some of these species, but I've never been that close to any of them before! We saw common merganser, goldeneyes, buffleheads and a few species I'm not sure of yet!
