Welcome to the "Mitten" state! A trip down the western side of the state should include a trip to Traverse City. If your husband is into golf they have several great courses--one of which was designed by Jack Nicklaus. Traverse City is also known for some of the best cherries in the USA. The views of the Grand Traverse Bay are great too.
Michigan is known for its wine and we have many great wineries. The best IMHO is in southwest Michigan is St Julian's Winery in Paw Paw. Paw Paw is approximately 25 miles from Kalamazoo, yes there really is a Kalamazoo Michigan. Kalamazoo features a wonderful Air Museum, which contains numerous items related to the history of airplanes and flight. If you like antique and vintage automobiles the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners is a must see.
If your enjoy museums and historic homes, a visit to Historic Charlton Park in Hastings will not disappoint. It's like a mini-Greenfield Village--featuring a museum surrounded by many buildings from the 1800s that guests can tour. The Parks has a church, barber shop, blacksmith shop, general store, hardware store, an Inn, etc.
June is also a great time to sample Michigan Strawberries. If we have a good winter they will be plentiful. We have many u-pick strawberry farms in southwest Michigan and many restaurants feature fresh strawberry shortcake. There are many local strawberry festivals in June, too.
I would also recommend spending a day on the Lake Michigan shore. South Haven is located on Lake Michigan and has a film festival every June. South Haven also has a 1872 lighthouse that is really neat.
I'm kind of partial but our Local Quilt Shop "Quilt-N-Go" just south of Battle Creek is a great place to shop.
Hope this gives you a few ideas and that you have a great time while you are in Michigan!
