[@paulharmina7480]

It looked like Chris was actually starting to smile at 5:23

[@coolbeansloop2024]

Yes for sure, he has a very nice smile to me! :-) Thanks for watching!

[@paulharmina7480]

Again at 12:18 Chris has a semi smile. I think you are making progress getting him to smile.

[@coolbeansloop2024]

Chris is a very happy person, and he is also very serious so I try to get big smiles - but don't get them too often! Thanks so much for watching! :-)

Another great video, Thank you!

[@coolbeansloop2024]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate your kind comments! :-)

Lotsa cute, fun port towns on Michigan's west coast. Clemintine's 2 in St. Joseph. Yum. Oinks ice cream in New Buffalo. Stay safe.

[@coolbeansloop2024]

Hey there! Thanks for the recommendations! We'll keep them in mind if/when we go to those towns! and YES there are so many cute places, we are LOVING it here! Thanks for watching! :-)

Great episode! Love that you included the names of the horses, and so many interesting facts about fudge, mushroom houses, the Grand Hotel, etc. And thanks for the shout-out for the screen shots from the bridge cam in Charlevoix! Whenever we cruise to Charlevoix, I always go to the website later that day and capture images of our own boat going under the bridge and through the channel, so it’s fun to do that for other boats I know and recognize.

So nice to meet you in person last week! Thanks for all of your tips and info! Very helpful! Glad to have you as such a loyal viewer! :-)

West Michigan is awesome. It's home for me and I miss it. Loved the video.

[@coolbeansloop2024]

Yes we agree! We are having a blast in the little towns - so fun! We now wish we could have spent more time on Lake Michigan! Thanks for watching! :-)

[@davidplamondon1827]

I'm going to say this was the best one, but I'm from Michigan and the places you stopped at I've been to most of them. This show made me home sick. Thank you for the great show. 😊😊

[@coolbeansloop2024]

Hey David, thank you so much and we are so glad you got to see some of the places you've been - that is so neat! We are loving west coast of MI and we could stay here for months enjoying all of these little towns, but alas we have to keep moving! Thanks so much for watching! :-)

[@theabsolutetruth2024]

Hey!!!! I got The Best Comment of The Week!!!! Another very enjoyable video. Y'all be safe!

[@coolbeansloop2024]

You sure did! Thanks so much for watching, and especially all the way to the end! :-) Appreciate it!!

Great episode. Anne’s cousins had a summer home on Lake Leelanau which is right next to Leland. It is gorgeous there in the summer - winter not so. You two look like you are having a ball. Safe travels.

[@coolbeansloop2024]

HEY KEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad to have you back watching! Yes we can imagine that this part of the country isn't so vacation-friendly in the winter! I asked Chris the other day what he thought the coast looked like in the winter... we figured lots of snow! We ARE having a ball and are really excited to get to Chicago and take our boat downtown on the river! Our very own Architecture Tour! Thanks for watching! :-)

It was great to meet you. It was a rough ride out of Frankfort to Ludington. Now, waiting to go south. Crescent Bakery was amazing. Breakfast sandwiches, cherry fritters and the best was the nutty crescent donut.

[@coolbeansloop2024]

Hey there! It was great meeting you too! Yes, I bet it was rough that day you left Frankfort. We stayed back until it was very calm! But now we have been sitting for a whole week waiting for another good travel day! We loved the fried cinnamon rolls at the Crescent Bakery - we had them every day! :-) Thanks for watching and happy Looping to our fellow Texans! :-)

Great episode. The Grand Hotel was the location for the 1980 film Somewhere in Time starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.

[@coolbeansloop2024]

Hello and thanks! And Yes, our guide told us about the movies that were filmed on Mackinac Island! How fun! Thanks for watching! :-)

[@tascosaeagle]

‘ Don’t know if I can go to Leland , my mutt may get jealous of the doggy chauffeur @ 12:24 ! lol ! Plus I luuuv bakeries almost as much as Dr (the Bakker’s help his pocketbook a LOT since they do nothing but aggravate my diabetes ) ! Lol

[@coolbeansloop2024]

We hear you - the bakery was NOT good for our waistline, and probably for our health either. We are glad to have left, as to not have to go buy new clothes! haha! Thanks for watching! :-)

[@pamelagrusz8137]

Love you videos. Any suggestions or products to make travel videos for our families while we travel

[@coolbeansloop2024]

Hi Pamela, I just use the free version of Canva to make these videos. I would say just take tons of pictures AND videos! Both are important! We use our iPhones and a GoPro. Thanks so much for watching! :-)

[@paulharmina7480]

Music is too loud and distraction from your tour comments.

[@tascosaeagle]

Their channel , their music,they’re the editors . Let them share the fun as only they can !

[@coolbeansloop2024]

Thanks for your feedback. I do my best to keep the background music at the right levels, but doing these videos in almost real-time, I sometimes miss the mark.

[@tascosaeagle]

@@coolbeansloop2024 fear not Grasshopper ! You will always have detractors in your life , continue to live large & those of us who love , admire & respect you will grieve mightily because we don’t spend enough time at your side !

[@johnmarschalk1977]

Well, I was hoping for an Aggie win. ND has such a soft schedule this year. Don't see 2 losses on their schedule now, so they'll be in the playoffs and get to host at home. Hopefully they get blown out by whomever they play.

[@coolbeansloop2024]

John we agree - ND has an EASY schedule and I wish we would have won - with a new coach, we are still learning his style and we are hoping he brushes this loss off and we keep going this season to win after win! Thanks for watching! :-)

[@johnmarschalk1977]

@@coolbeansloop2024 And now as an SEC Tennessee fan, I'm hoping you lose the remaining SEC game. Just like I hope the rest of the SEC teams lose all their games even though that's not possible!!! 🤣🤣🤣
