Road Tripping North in Search of at Least a Little Summer - Eater

"Some attractions, like our first stop, the Dow Gardens — 110 acres in the city of Midland — are now appointment-only, with reservations made online to limit the number of visitors at any given time. Supposedly we came here once long ago, when we lived in nearby Saginaw, but I have no memory of the lush greenery or the ponds thick with scum. (The garden also has a restroom that we use with some apprehension, thus breaking our 'no public restrooms' rule within just two hours — but appointment-only means it isn’t really public.)" - Jenny G. Zhang
