It's a great way to fill in for whatever you may have forgot to pack, or pick up a game or puzzle. You can't beat the prices! Super scores over the years include a vintage Electrolux canister vacuum (built like a tank!) and a beautiful cotton queen-sized quilt that I use year round. 100% volunteer run store, all the proceeds are used for charity.

On our road trip around the Great Lakes from Philly, we made a stop at this incredible spot -- and…read moredon't ask me to pronounce the name! Located inside Palms Book State Park, this natural spring was one of the most unique and beautiful places we visited. The water is crystal clear all the way to the bottom, and you can easily see fish swimming below. You hop onto a self-operated raft that you pull across the water to the middle of the spring, where there's an opening in the center to look straight down. It gives you a perfect view of the vibrant underwater world -- it's honestly mesmerizing. It's a quick stop, but totally worth it. And the best part? It's dog-friendly! Definitely add this to your list if you're exploring the Upper Peninsula.

Thankfully, McDonough's Market carries pretty much everything you could need throughout your stay. Located about a half hour from the main downtown (the ferry dock and community center), it's an easy walk or bike ride over to pick up what you may need. My recent stay was short, so I didn't have to pick up too much. After a 10 mile bike ride, though, only a chilled Gatorade would hit the spot. There was a large variety of flavors of Gatorade, as well as some Vitamin Water, chilling in one of the refrigerators, and I happily availed myself of one. On a separate trip that same visit, I wanted to find some local coffee to take back as a gift for a coffee connoisseur. The bag that I needed was hiding in plain sight, and I missed it on my first go-around. I asked a friendly employee to help me find it, which she did without delay. There's a great welcoming and friendly vibe on the island that was apparent when I was browsing throughout the store, which made it a pleasure to pop in that day. If you find yourself on Beaver Island, make sure you stop by McDonough's for a quick visit!

I found WAY more than I expected to buy when I first walked in, and the owner, Gene, was super friendly, helpful, and fun to joke around with. I only WISH this place was closer to where I live, because I would become a regular. I can't speak about the full offerings, because I only looked through the jazz section, but I know that I didn't expect much, but was blown away by the amazing selection and the care that Gene put into the store. All of the records were in really excellent condition. I'm listening through my gigantic stack right now, and I"m about 7 records in and have only had a couple skips, other than that, it's been great. Gene also gave me an amazingly great deal, too (of course, i bought a lot of records... ). Really, this is a place well worth stopping for, especially if you're a vinyl nerd.
