Mackinac Island, MI
Mackinac Island, 20 minutes by boat from either the Upper or Lower Peninsula of Michigan, comes alive on summer weekends.Most of its roughly 4 square miles is parkland, suitable for hiking and cycling.Be sure to visit the beautiful architecture―Victorian cottages that date back to just after the Civil War.You can have a taste of times gone by; cars were banned more than a hundred years ago, and horsedrawn carriages(马车) are still used to get around today.
Ocean City, MD
This East Coast beach town is best known for its boardwalk(栈道), which is known for oldschool amusement rides.Cycling in the town is also a great pleasure.You can't miss a classic walk along the boardwalk and the taste of Thrasher's vinegar and Old Bay French fries.
