We left Fort Myers at an unbearable 6am and flew direct to Detroit. We couldn't stand how hungry we were when we arrived, so we drove to Downtown Detroit to find a breakfast spot. We stumbled into the Cadillac Square Diner on a whim. With our family of 8 eating here, we had almost every breakfast menu item on the menu and it did not disappoint. Definitely comes highly recommended from me if you are in town during brunch.
This diner led to a walk around downtown, a tour of the Renaissance Center and had a great view of the bridge to Canada {it was news to my husband that you could see Canada from the US - obviously he wasn't paying much attention in geography class}. We also took pictures in front of the huge Christmas tree at Campus Martius Park. Right across the street from the park is this awesome coffee shop called the Roasting Plant Detroit. You can literally watch the coffee beans you choose come out of the bean holder, through the ceiling and into brewing for your cup of coffee. That's serious coffee brewing if I do say so myself.
Since we were already downtown, we simply couldn't leave without a stop at the Eastern Market. This is one of the largest farmers markets that I have ever been to and I just want to buy everything there. I had really great intentions of taking a picture in front of my favorite beignet truck, but cold weather and warm beignets and it just didn't happen. So just picture really yummy beignets out of a food truck - just yes! But here is us keeping warm in front of an open fire at the Eastern Market.
Of course, no trip to Detroit is complete without a trip to the East Detroit Bakery. You really can't get anything bad here. Josh came for the first time this trip, and he would completely agree with me. Guaranteed.
The rest of our visit was full of family and memory making that I just can't put on paper. So here are a few pictures to leave you with.
Keep adventuring,
Hilary
