For the first full day of my cruise of the Great Lakes, we stopped in Muskegon, Michigan. It is a cute town that has done an admiral job of preserving its past as much as possible. The downtown features some new buildings but also some historic buildings. A block or so away from downtown are some gorgeous painted ladies houses. Our cruise had a trolley that took us on a loop around downtown as well as one that took us a half hour or so from downtown to the beaches. Some of the beaches are on Muskegon Lake, which is connected by a channel to Lake Michigan, where other beaches are.
