And then of course there are the retirees who spend the summer in Michigan and winters in Florida, they are called "Snowbirds". I'm sure every State has some kind of nickname like that for their tourists! Michigan tourists are called “Fudgies”, because they go to Mackinac Island for the day and buy tons of their famous fudge.
