With the kids in tow, there are two stops you should make before the Tahquamenon falls.
There are two campgrounds in Saute Saint Marie that are east of the locks. Spend a day there. Watch ships go through the locks. Visit the Valley Camp and its displays. Do the River of History Museum and have the reading kids read to the younger. The Tower is OK, but only if you buy the combined ticket.
When you want to go on, go 75mi toward Paradise, but plan you time late.
Just west of town is a parking area for the snowmobile park. It is empty in the summer and a great boondock with trails through the woods.
The next morning go to the museum at Whitefish Point. (I have like it, but I have a hard time there as I had friends on Fitz.)
Now go on to Tahquamenon and Munising.
