It's spring time, Michigan! And many of us are headed to a tropical climate or at least somewhere without snow, as our friends in Northen lower peninsula or the Upper Peninsula are experiencing right now.

On this episode, BTM co-hosts John Gonzalez and Amy Sherman take you all across Michigan to discover the diverse attractions that make Michigan a fantastic spring break destination.

Segment 1: Jamie Furbush from the Frankenmuth Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau shares the best of Frankenmuth's festive attractions, culinary delights (and not just chicken dinners), hidden gems, plus cool waterparks.

Segment 2: McKenna Dole of Discover Kalamazoo highlights the city's vibrant art scene and family-friendly activities that make it a top spring break destination. She also highlights the very popular Air Zoo, known as a world-class, Smithsonian-affiliated aerospace and science museum with over 100 air and space artifacts.

Segment 3: Brigid Avery from Aquinas College, Amy's alma mater, discusses the unique experiences and cultural offerings students at Aquinas discovered on a multi-day trip to metro Detroit. Learn more about Brigid and her role at Aquinas College HERE.

Segment 4: Paul Knapp, executive director of St. Joe Today, reveals the scenic beauty and local events in the St. Joseph and Benton Harbor area, perfect for a spring getaway.
