Tulip Time Again

It's about to be that time of year again, Tulip Time in Holland.  The festival runs May 5- 12.  Unfortunately, these photographs are from last week and as you can see all of the flowers were out in full bloom.  If you can make it to Holland before the festival you can skip out on the crowds and enjoy all of the beautiful flowers, but you will miss out on all of the fun activities that surround the festival.  You can read about our visit to the festival last year here.

Louie's Ham and Corned Beef

After the Tigers game we made our way over to Louie's Ham and Corned Beef in Eastern Market.  Yum!  We all had delicious rueben and pastrami sandwiches and left full and very happy.  I hear that the restaurant is bulging at the seams in the mornings, but it was slow after the game which made for a nice escape from the game day crowds.

Detroit Tigers

I was so excited for our first Tigers game of the season.  I could post over and over how much I love watching our hometown team play (and kick butt.)  My advice . . . you should just get yourself over here and pick out some games to go to with friends and family.

THE PEOPLE MOVER

We were looking for a Detroit adventure last week and found ourselves taking a ride on The People Mover.  Neither Ted nor I had ever ridden the public transportation system and figured it was something we needed to try out.  It was an adventure to say the least and a great way to get around and see parts of the city we were unfamiliar with.  We hopped off in Greektown for dinner and ended at Joe Louis for a Red Wings game.  We made conversation with some interesting characters during the ride and learned about other individuals' favorite parts of the city.  I recommend taking a ride along the People Mover loop the next time you are in the city, definitely worth the 75 cents.

THE MEGA 80'S

We rounded up some friends and headed out to Mega 80's at the Magic Bag in Ferndale a few weeks ago.  The concert was everything we had hoped it would be.  Some wild dancing, awesome cover of every 80's song we could imagine, and an overall great time.  I highly recommend attending if you are in the area.  The Magic Bag is such an awesome venue and we try to stop in for events whenever possible- basically we think it rocks.

Back in Action

I had to take a short break from I heart Michigan, but I am back and so excited to be sharing all of our Michigan adventures with you.  Life has been busy and fantastic- so of course I have lots to share.  During my time away from I heart Michigan Ted and I got engaged and we are busy planning a wedding for next year.

What is new with you?  Any great Michigan adventures?

Oh and I heart Michigan is undergoing a little bit of a facelift.  Yay!

Thanks for stopping by and of course check back every day to follow our Michigan explorations.

Sangria

A few weeks back my wonderful brother and his wife took us out to dinner at Sangria in Royal Oak.  I love the feeling of going to a tapas restaurant and sharing all of the food on the table.  I am more of an appetizer than a meal person and we always share meals so tapas are perfect for us.  We ended up with far too much food on the table and plenty of sangria to go around, but we had a wonderful evening.  The restaurant even had live, traditional music and dancing towards the end of the evening.
