Despite our political problems I’m a shameless Michigan booster. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
If you ever decide on taking a Michigan vacation I suggest Grand Marais on the lake superior shore. I stayed at a little village owned campground there last summer and found it surprisingly enjoyable. They have nice clean bathrooms, private showers and laundery and all you have to bring is the roof over your head. I believe it was under $25 per night. Its also within an hour or so of some of the main natural attractions in the upper penninsula.
We planned on going to Greenfield Village on Sunday, and it was a beautiful sunny day for the Village. We stayed till closing at 5pm. Monday we did the Henry Ford museum, another all day visit looking at history of not just automobiles, but trains, planes, tractors, carriages, fire apparatus, and much more.
The gardens were on tap for Tues. We really thought that may be a quick drive through, but we were there till 2:30. We didnt miss anything, I think.
We stopped at the orchard and picked apples, a first for us southerners, then proceeded to drive home from the orchard, arriving 17 hours later, Wed. morning.
A lot of miles, a lot of beautiful sites, amazing historical exhibits and 780 photos. The wife says thanks. We will return.
