Winter fun with friends: Sure, the southern U.S. states avoid freezing cold temperatures, but what’s the fun of a fire pit in 70-degree weather? When it’s cold out, fire up the fire pit and invite friends over for a special experience.

Go winter lighthouse viewing: Have you ever seen a lighthouse in the winter? It’s a beautiful sight, with icicles and snow adorning it. Michigan has some great lighthouses to visit in the cold months.
