2020

 Hello from Traveling Hat adventures.  My team and I hope that 2021 will be better than 2020. Not much travel because of the Covid.  We pray that in 2021 we can finally venture out and resume where we left off. There is a lot of Michigan yet to see and talk about.  2021 we will be adding videos to this blog.  Please keep following and viewing. 

I also want to wish all my followers and viewers a very Merry Christmas and a Happier 2021.

Frankenmuth Mi

A revisit to Frankenmuth Mi,  We where here a year ago and got chased by thunderstorms all weekend.  Downtown was busy, it was hard to believe that a pandemic was happening with all the people walking around.  It was nice to see that people are getting out and shopping.

Frankenmuth is located in Saginaw County and is an area of a city a little over three square miles. It is a town of Bavarian decent. The name Frankenmuth means "courage of the Franconians The towns nick name and little Bavaria,  The city was founded in 1845 by Lutheran immigrants out of Germany.  They are famous for Bronner's, the worlds largest Christmas ornament store.  But they are also famous for the cheese factories that they have there.

Stop by and get a Christmas ornament with your name painted on it or maybe some great cheese.  It is worth the stop.  

Newaygo Mi.

With things setting down and being able to get back out in the world I am starting to travel a little bit more,  Staying close to home here are a few photos from this weekends adventures.  I hope to be back up and running soon. I miss the travel and seeing the beauty of the state I live in.
Newaygo Mi has some beautiful places to explore.  With the Muskego river flowing through the north side of town and the park along to river you can find interesting views and artwork.  With all that is going on in the world it is nice that there are places like this to escape it all and just relax and enjoy the thing you have and the people you share it with.  Take the time to go to a park and listen to the water run down the river and look for that one interesting thing that you may never have seen before.  Find that little thing that catches you eye.

Holland Mi. Tulip Time 2020

For the Past 92 years Holland Michigan has been home to Tulip Time honoring the founders of the Dutch community.  In 91 years it has never been cancelled.  Even during war time is was never cancelled.  But this year due to the outbreak of COVID 19 there will be no Tulip Time in Holland.  The tulips in Holland didn't get the message and grew in their beauty they do every year.  So for those of you that planned on coming but had to cancel here is a little taste of the tulips in Holland that will be back next year for Tulip Time
