I looked out of my office windows this afternoon and thought I was in a snow globe. Winter has finally arrived in Michigan. Tomorrow, or the next day, I’ll be putting a bathing suit on my lily-white body and splashing in water. No, I’m not going to a secluded desert island—I’m not even going to warm locale! But more on that in the next week or so.
For now, check out all the fun things to do in Detroit this weekend and have a great time!
