Now that Kody is a freshman, his football schedule has gotten a lot more involved. Between his baseball and football schedule... Klay's baseball and 8th grade football schedule, Katie's baseball and cheering schedule... Dear Lord! It's hard to schedule a vacation all of a sudden. Anyway, we have a small window the last week of June to try and squeeze something in. I'm looking for ideas for a cool little getaway. Maybe a 4 day thing or something.
My wife is talking beach, but that's every friggin year! I like the idea of following the Pirates around and catching them at other stadiums, but they're home most of that week with exception of playing at Detroit in interleague play. It crossed my mind to catch a game in Detroit and see what's cool to do with a short drive (2-3 hours) from Detroit.
However, I'm open to any ideas.
you guys have anything cool you did with the families that you recommend? I love to drive, so hitting the road for 8-10 hours doesn't bother me in the slightest.

I spent a good deal of time crawling around in the National forest up there in my youth, fished a lot of streams and lakes, and took note of the huge tourist business the area supports. That, and timber, are what keeps their economy going. With you being a history lover, Macinac may interest you. Heck, the bridge (The Big Mac), over to the UP is an amazing thing to see too, but all that is farther up than what I posted for you. The dunes would be a good area for a short trip as I am certain you can rent ATVs for the family to ride up there. If you wanted to take your own, there are 1000s of miles of sandy trails to ride all over N. MI, which might interest you at a later time. The beaches up there on both Lake Mi and Huron are pretty darn nice...the water is a little clearer than what you'll find flowing down the mighty Ohio too....
