As a native Michigander, I’m well aware that our state offers so many fascinating places, interesting things to do, and beautiful areas to explore. I still eagerly delve into new books about our beloved state – there’s so much MORE to see!

Picture the whole crew under one roof. Grandparents, parents, a couple of teenagers, and a toddler who will be up at 5am (bless her, every single day!).

That is our opinion, and after one bite of a thimbleberry-frosted doughnut from Jamsen’s Bakery, it will be yours too. Still don’t believe us? Gordon Ramsay stopped by for a taste himself in September 2020. He said, “This is wonderful.”

International travel has largely returned to normal for Australians in 2026, but questions remain about whether a COVID-19 vaccine is still required or recommended before heading overseas.
