I am a train nerd. I have been fond of trains since I was a kid. I grew up in a timeframe when there were actually cabooses on the end of freight trains. I always thought it would be fun to ride in the caboose on a train ride. Nowadays cabooses are a thing of the past but you can still find them and now you can sleep in them.

When I was growing up in St. Joe, in Southwest Michigan, I'd travel up the coast to South Haven on occassion to check out the beach and hang out in town. South Haven is right on the shore of Lake Michigan and it has a lot to do for beachgoers, fishermen and sun lovers. Take a walk out on the pier to catch the sunrise, sunset or to check in with the fishermen that have their lines in the water right off the pier. Lakeside life is different, it's a slower pace.

Lakeside towns like South Haven are a popular destination for Michigan residents and residents of the Chicagoland area. If you are thinking about heading to any coastal town this summer, you better book your accomodations now. Try something new this year. Stray in a caboose overnight. That's a unique experience that you will remember forever.
