    I am glad you went to the Ford Museum; I enjoyed looking at the vintage aircraft, cars (especially being driven on the property). I remember as a kid my family spent nights at the Holiday Inn so that old Holiday Inn sign brought back memories to me.

    A couple of cool things to do downtown is Campus Martius park & the Detroit Riverwalk. A fun way to get around downtown is either the QLINE streetcar or the People Mover. Belle Isle is one of a kind & def. worrh a visit too. You also have to check out the renovated Central Train Station. It is spectacular! Glad you enjoyed your visit again in Detroit! We welcome having people visit & enjoy all the city has to offer esp. in the summer & fall.

    I'm a native Detroiter (I live in Seattle now) and I loved seeing this blog! So glad you enjoyed my hometown! Funny...I don't think I've ever been to the Henry Ford Museum lol. My absolute fav museum as a kid was the Detroit Historical Museum. It's such a cool museum that chronicles the history of Detroit. The Detroit Institute of Arts is also a must see if you haven't been. My immediate family lives in FL and I don't get to Detroit often, so I really loved seeing this little piece of it. Thank you! :)

    Next time you are in Detroit and staying in the downtown area I would highly recommend touring the Piquette plant. It's in Detroit and not nearly as far away as the Henry Ford. It is where Henry Ford originally started the Ford Motor Company and where he first started building the model T before moving the the assembly line in Highland Park. I would highly recommend getting the guided tour because the tour guides really make the experience better & are super knowledgeable.

    Ok, here’s a weird fact about the Henry Ford museum. It has the chair that Lincoln was shot in as well as the car that Kennedy was shot in. Like I said, a weird fact. Thanks for showing Detroit in a positive light (love that you were singing Motown in your head as you were there). The city gets a lot of negativity so it’s appreciated.

    Hi Vera, thanks for going to Greenfield Village for me, been 27 year since I was there when I was across the river in Windsor, Ontario. Used to go there a lot. Suggest a layover in Toronto with a GO Train trip to Niagara Falls, especially during the Festival of Lights over Christmas and its also good for your health with the great walking tours there like from the Falls to Queenston Heights, would make for an epic vlog.

    Yes, welcome to Detroit. We have so much to offer so many things to do so nice to see young people eating healthy lunch. They also have beekeepers natural which is the propolis spray and supplement works really good. 🛫🗺️🦠🐝
