My daughter cooked at that Kilwins. That’s her with a coworker on the bag of Carmel corn. In every Kilwin store across the country. So glad you were able to visit.

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

Wow thank 😊 you for sharing

@smkymtnguy33 Год назад

We were in Mackinac last year about this time. It's a long drive from Gatlinburg. We drove around to Petoskey and a few other small towns. We stayed at a KOA in St Ignace. We toured the UP a few days. Of course we had to take the ferry ride to Mackinac Island. Rented bikes (my wife and I rented a tandem) and rode the trail. Bought some fudge and tshirts. Everything up there was beautiful and cool for July.

@dianapearson1771 Год назад

Very cool you showed us through the "peep" show box!! I loved that!!!I like this place. Would love to visit. Look very laid back!!

@terrib627 Год назад

Here's a tip for people who are too afraid to drive across the bridge. You can have someone from the bridge authority drive you across for a fee ($10 + cost of tolls).

@ShiponKari Год назад

I love the fridge in the room.

@SmokyMountainBlessed 11 месяцев назад

I think Kilwins are in Florida tourist areas too, $400 chocolate is a crazy price unless it comes with the candy mold

@ldevo6750 Год назад

Great video!! Beautiful place! Bridge at night so gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing

@amberbryant8141 Год назад

Wow 😯 amazing so beautiful Mackinaw City and very nice gift shops, restaurants and motels & beach. Thank you sharing your video love it. Yes love it Mackinaw City very amazing place 🥰🫶🏻❤️

@andreaandiwilliams9232 Год назад

We were there 2 years ago and stay in the area that you are at. So beautiful and just a nice place to visit as this was the first time we had been in this area!!

@valerieparent3863 Год назад

Good thing you stayed there. Me and my hubby stayed at the Beachcomber motel in Machinaw City and the bed was hard as a rock.

@ChillTube1227 Год назад

Very pretty Dan Lebowitz tune. Great video love the ride along.

@mr.nomadben7109 Год назад

Thank you Will and Dawn for this video. I haven't been to Mackinaw in years. I absolutely love it. So cool to be near the Great Lakes. I miss them.

@laurafoote214 Год назад

fudge is so good, we got ours at Ryba's on the island, $11. a slice! we stayed at the Bavarian Haus in St. Ignace in the UP, i love the entire area. we did the tour of the fort there. and the pasties are a must, so good!

@beautifulflorida Год назад

Great video! Thank you very much for sharing!

@KatSut1978 Год назад

We were just there last October! Such a cool place! Enjoy!

@terrib627 Год назад

Staying on the island is worth the price. It is so peaceful after the daytrippers leave. We always go after Labor Day to avoid crowds and the higher prices. I've never been able to afford The Grand, but the Chippewa Hotel is right on the harbor and the balcony suites are fabulous. I prefer being waterside to being up on the hill at The Grand. We usually use the Star Line out of St. Ignace so we can cross the bridge. We're going back this year for the first time since the pandemic began. Before that, we went every year. I've missed it so much. As soon as you step on the island, it's like a weight lifts off your shoulders. This year we're going to try Clyde's Drive In in St. Ignace for the first time. The only recommendation I have for dining in Mac City is Darrow's. The pies! OMG. If you run into Archie Horn, the porter, say hi for us. He's kind of famous for his knack of stacking so many pieces of luggage on his bike.

@teresacantrell7400 Год назад

Such a beautiful place ❤️ prayers for safe travels

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

Thanks so much

@joanndeland7969 Год назад

Love the bridge

@amanaroberts1879 Год назад

My favorite time to go is early June because I think lilac trees in bloom

@JK-sx3ld Год назад

Will and Dawn we just missed you guys. We were in Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island 12th to the 16th. Beautiful area.

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

So cool!

@colleenkyde8793 Год назад

Another amazing video. I would love to go there. Maybe someday. Have a good time and stay safe.

@jennabreck22 Год назад

Nice adventure! You guys should check out Duluth, MN! That’s where my husband and I got married last year! Duluth is so pretty, right next to Lake Superior! So many big ships going in and out of the canal too!

@laurarose8140 Год назад

That looks like a beautiful place to visit. I have never heard of it nut will definitely put it on my travel book to visit. Thats why i love watching you guys you always give me ideas for places to visit and explore. Thank you so much. Was wondering if you ever get to drive through camp grounds to see how they are? Thanks again for a beautiful video

@laurarose8140 Год назад

Should say but will

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

Yes

@Melissa2087 Год назад

Hoping to get to Mackinac Island one day

@KarleneT Год назад

Oh my gosh. That place is dangerous 😊 I would want all that chocolate. Oh my gosh 😊

@ssing2490 Год назад

So excited to see you're going to Mackinaw island! Love that place! Been there 5-6 times, and it never gets old. we also stayed at the grand hotel and the rooms are kinda neat, something out of an old movie. i hope you're gonna do the lunch buffet at the grand hotel!? its amazing! expensive but a bucket list event! can't wait to see your experience there!

@terrib627 Год назад

For anyone who would like a cheaper hotel on the island I would recommend The Murray Hotel. We stayed there once because I waited too late to book at our usual place. It was fine if you spend most of your time out of the room plus they have a nice little hot tub on the roof.

@kimk9552 Год назад

I'm so glad you are doing these videos in Michigan. We live in Ohio but go to Mackinac Island every year. Just went in June and going again in October. Definitely Gatlinburg and Mackinac Island are our happy places! We go to Gatlinburg every year too. :)

@marilynmoeller8855 Год назад

That pizza looked great. Can't wait for more.

@jerryconnell3797 Год назад

Can't believe you didn't eat at Scalawags in Mackinaw City the best fried whitefish in Northern MI.

@tommysmith9900 Год назад

Will and Dawn I vist the island in the 73 and 74 when you had to go over by ferry boat and thier was very little commercial buildings and you travel by bikes or walk

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

Thank 😊 you for sharing

@jordantosten1993 Год назад

Love that Island never been there thank you your videos are so great love you guys

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

You rock!

@pauline9242 Год назад

Kilwins chocolate factory was great, and loved the Lucy episode you mentioned, it’s one of my favorites! Mackinaw City gives beautiful old town vibes . The bridge, beach and island reminds me of the south fork of LI . You always show really nice places to visit R&R mixed with history. Always a good adventure. Looking forward to next video 👍

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

Thank 😊 you

@constantlearner3213 Год назад

Reminds me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

@ryantowers2313 Год назад

I hear the candy shop in Escanaba is a good place to stop

@keithnicodemus5613 Год назад

You even managed to capture the sound of the state bird, the good ole jackhammer!!

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

Awesome 👌

@bonniebrown6960 Год назад

I wish my husband and I could go traveling like you and Dawn do. That looks like so much fun. Ya'll are so blessed. Thank you for sharing another beautiful video. Love it !! 👍❤️🥰🥰

@Adaisy45 Год назад

Great video! Beautiful!! Long time Michigander! Nothing like beautiful Michigan! If you’re looking for a place to eat in Mackinaw City go to Darrows! Everything is made fresh daily and their pie is to die for and a mile high! Best I’ve ever eaten!

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

Thank 😊 you

Love that Town been to the Island. Mom N pop restaurants are the best. Popcorn store was great popcorn stayed fresh for a long time.

@delanomiller Год назад

QWill and Dawn thanks for sharing this adventure. That store you showed at the beginning I've not seen but will definitely be looking for it the next time I'm in Pigeon Forge/Gatlingburg. Your hotel looked very nice. God bless.

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

Thanks for watching!

@dianapearson1771 Год назад

You would have to go a couple of times a month and try few different candies. It would take a long time to do that. It all looked so good!! But, ya'll didn't even get any fudge??!!

@lisab.7339 Год назад

Wonderful video! My husband and I are originally from Detroit. I want to rewatch this video. Dawn you look so pretty and you are so sweet! Have fun you two!🌻

QuietPlaces here! We have never been to Michigan but after seeing this video we may go! Thanks for taking us with you guys!😊

@ledebuhr1 Год назад

Will, I believe that Grand Hotel was built in 93 days. It's amazing that they could build it that fast in the 1880's.

@ATJHTRAVELS Год назад

Fantastic video sledgehammered that like button sharing out full watch

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

Much appreciated

@janmomto2 Год назад

Lol. We stayed at that same inn 12 years ago and in that exact room. Of course when we stayed it had 2 queen beds. The breakfast was good. The pool was nice. The view was great. Thanks for taking us down memory lane. We miss being in Michigan. We are Ohioans now.

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

Another great video!❤

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

Yay, thank you!

@jonathansjourney7421 Год назад

Love the island but if I’m being honest the Grand Hotel was way overpriced, I actually like staying in St Ignace just over the bridge. Money goes further lol haha

@jessicamccain1000 Год назад

This video is FANTASTIC! Much better than the Smoky Mountains, which we've seen all our lives a million times. I learned a lot, and it was beautiful! Thanks!

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

@madelinechriston8970 Год назад

Hi Will! HI Dawn! Question: I always see Dawn with the famous yellow Jeep. I'm about to buy a Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe. Are you happy with yours? I'm really excited. However, it doesn't have front and side cameras like my current Rogue Platinum. Do you find it difficult to park between two cars because of the way the fenders extend from the car, or did you get used to it? Anything else I should know about a Jeep before I get it? Thanks much! Love your videos as always!

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

My yellow Jeep is a basic Streep down we don't have any problems with parking it

@madelinechriston8970 Год назад

@yankeeinthesouth thanks for the info. The one that was available that I'll be getting is the sahara 4 door hybrid in high velocity yellow. It's supposed to be really good when you use the gas and electric together. 49mpg

@tammyheatherly4646 Год назад

I really love the tour of Michigan so far! Thanks you guys! 🥰❤️❤️❤️

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

Our pleasure!

@gusnickles3672 Год назад

I could smell that fudge. That is a very quaint place, and the bridge was amazing. Thanks for sharing.

@anncourter7715 Год назад

Mama Mia's has a bridge history museum on the second floor. It's very interesting.

@Wowreallybro Год назад

Will and Dawn! Y'all are truly beautiful people and I enjoy your videos. Some people are hateful and just don't understand. Keep on doing whatever makes y'all happy 😁.

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

Thanks so much

@smokymountainman4964 Год назад

The waves, the bridge and the Lighthouse are all so beautiful

@carlavision6143 Год назад

Will and Dawn, really enjoyed your video and thank you for taking me along with y'all! Absolutely beautiful views, places and bridge! I wish there'd be a kilwins somewhere around here. Choctaw Casino and Resort needs a kilwins and then I could try their yummy fudge! Safe travels, love y'all and God Bless! Thank you both for being a blessing!❤️

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

Thanks so much!

@dave1956 Год назад

Since you mention Lucille Ball, I have an idea for a video. The Lucille Ball museum in Jamestown, New York is one of the coolest places that a Lucy fan could visit.

@yankeeinthesouth Год назад

Thanks for the idea!

@jessicacoley8745 Год назад

omg again i have been to Mackinaw Island, we did the carriage ride tour. i highly reccomend the fudge.

@roymaria6042 Год назад

Like the bears in front of the retro hotel looked like you were in Tennessee. All that candy looks good! Have a good day.

Your hotel is gorgeous and i love the area. Mackinac Island has been on my bucket list since i saw the film 'Somewhere in Time' featuring Christopher Reeve filmed at The Grand Hotel. So excited to see your video tomorrow. Cheers

@Rhondagail Год назад

I agree 👍 Like retro motel with the real key 😊

@jilldybel1869 Год назад

Not yet!

Thank you for sharing your trip with us. Have a wonderful time

@smokymountainman4964 Год назад

That chocolate and fudge looked so good. I have never heard of that kind of chocolate before. We do not have it in my area. It would take me from 1 Easter to the next for me to eat that 22 lb chocolate bunny. You are right it reminded me of the Luch episode.

@davidcassidy6226 Год назад

Thanks for the video, not sure I'll ever get to visit there!

@tommysmith9900 Год назад

Nice looking motel room the town has grown a lot since thier in the 70st I work over in Pontiac on the first doom football

@kimberlylyerly2207 Год назад

Ya'll be safe, and have a great time. 😊 God bless 🙌

@alycew.787 Год назад

I think the Kilwins red dots of their other locations is inaccurate because that top dot in Florida must be ours, which is in The Villages, Florida. Btw, my fam is from Petoskey so it was nice seeing it again.

@lizpunzalan5823 Год назад

I grew up in northern Michigan and our field trips would be to Mackinac island. Such a cool place. But we never drove the bridge my mom hates bridges. My sister and her family get a cabin every year in the UP. It looks great.
