Mackinac Morning Meets Muskegon....Midnight? | Family Road Trip Day 5

[@samanthajravery]

Travel vlogs coming in hot between Jessica’s videos is just THE BEST! You guys are great; you brighten all kinds of days! 🙃🙌🏼

[@evanhoge2065]

Tyler’s grocery haul made me smile. We love a man who can grocery shop.

[@karincope3019]

The wonderment of seeing new thing experiences through Gigi’s eyes , love it .

[@joannsalas]

Gigi’s excitement in the background reminds me of when I was younger traveling with my parents. My sister and I would be so excited arriving at our hotel, my parents would say calm down little girls! Thank you for sharing your family trips! It’s wonderful to see a beautiful family enjoying each other’s company.

[@hlu777]

Wow! Even on camera that sunset was amazing!! I live in the high mountain desert southwest where we have spectacular sunrises & sunsets on a fairly regular basis so that's really saying something. What a wonderful lil getaway. Thanks for taking us along on all your adventures.

[@itsmrsvelez]

I’m surprised I didn’t see anyone talking about those flies! I’m watching the video and stressing out for y’all lol. And the ladies who walked right through them, forget it! Overall I love the video! Nothing new there because your videos are amazing! But the flies! Oh my gosh, the flies.

[@achchesg1]

Totally missing the long goodbyes at the end of the day vlogs

[@atashahenryhand2090]

Absolutely best theme song ever!!!!!

[@perfectlypriced4980]

Getting new TTTV family travel vlog “episodes” is better than new episodes of the trendiest Netflix or streaming shows. I’m so hooked! Jessica said it in a different GRWM but I hope I get to meet these lovely faces somehow one day cuz, as she says, I feel like I “know” them 💓💓💓

[@back.that.Ash.up85]

I LOVE that you so enthusiastically support smaller breweries! We own a small brewery here in Arkansas and you have no idea how much it means to small breweries to see ppl supporting other small breweries…did I say breweries enough lmao 😜

[@buddy36265]

Seeing all those may flies made me want to fill a mist fan bottle with skin so soft. 😆

[@barbaraveloz1730]

You should try Vernors Ginger ale it’s a Michigan soda. It’s SO good!!

[@chaturangaful]

I didn’t know vacation nesting was a thing, but Tyler did :)

[@mqtsprinter93]

Yessss! Blackrocks Brewery! Marquette is in the UP, my hometown. The UP is amazing in the summertime, I’ll be back there next week and I’m so excited!

[@jennifermorrison229]

That sunset was so awesome.

[@mariar3715]

These vlogs have me itching to go back to Michigan. That was one of my favorite vacations ive had.

[@kathleenbolanos]

Somehow Tyler's shirt matched everything perfectly 👌

[@haleycrook7494]

Ugh I love and miss Michigan! I lived near Ludington for 3 years. The western and northern parts of MI are so magical!

[@imscanon]

I don't think I could go there during bug season. That was intense! Yikes.

[@tiffanyreith4562]

Fellow Hoosier here! They’ve got a small Bigby’s in South Indy now in a meijer parking lot and other than that’s it’s mostly in northern Indiana but I love Bigby!

[@Ryuuight]

I live in Northern Indiana and when they said Biggby Coffee was not in Indiana I was totally confused because I know of at least 2 within like 30 minutes of my apartment and then looked it up and it makes sense that it's mainly in Michigan because it was founded there

[@tiffanyreith4562]

@@Ryuuight maybe we just really like our coffee up here

[@christagermany]

you chose the best canned cocktails!! New Holland's Rum Punch is my absolute favorite summer drink. Pour over ice and it's perfect! And the Two Chicks in the Paloma flavor is the other fav. So good!!

[@champagenroses]

That AirBnB is gorgeous... a perfect spot right by the water and the sunset was lovely 🥰 Thank you for sharing your trip with us ♥

[@ericaalvarado9959]

I love your intro song/video! I never skip it Bc I enjoy it soooooo much!

[@JSmith-fb1sz]

The Muskegon (my hometown) vlog!! FINALLY!

[@marleylately381]

I rewound twice just to listen to the jingle this time. I so miss jingles and/or theme songs. Tyler, this is an awesome one. Thank you for bringing such joy into this world and giving me a smile. I always tear up at the end… happy tears seeing Gigi girl. The best is yet to come! Love it!

[@JennRobHall]

I LOVE the intro song on this video!

[@annamcdomo6909]

My parents honeymooned on Mackinac Island in the 70s! As a Wisconsinite, I need to put out a shameless plug for Door County, WI. It's a county (the eastern peninsula of WI) made up of quaint little towns - lots of wineries, breweries, foodie spots, shopping, beaches, and nature! Come see the western side of Lake Michigan - it's beautiful!

[@danijohns4000]

What time of year do you recommend going? Would love to visit there!

[@annamcdomo6909]

@@danijohns4000 June-August is definitely your best bet as many businesses are only open during that season! Autumn is gorgeous but you'll have less availability for restaurants and shops.

[@NiftyGurrl18]

Agreed! It's funny though, being only an hour away from Door County I've always visited many times but never actually stayed up there, probably because I live so close, but it's on my travel bucket list. The trolley rides and tours are great too!

[@annamcdomo6909]

@@NiftyGurrl18 our family has taken an annual trip every June for 30+ years and we see something new every year!

[@awreckleftuntold]

This is making me need a vacation!! I haven't had a proper vacation in I don't even know how long. Loving the content! I've never even heard of these places before and I'm from Ohio so this is awesome that's it probably not too far from me

[@gidget_]

Such a cute and relaxing vacation. The amount of culture all around you that and the carrage ride would be my favorite. Lol

[@darkstarofmisery]

Michigander here, Shorts is my favorite brewery here and its in traverse city fyi!!

[@margaretgarrett7915]

I just love the new intro!😊

[@happilybre5322]

Man, I am not that far from Mackinac Island and still have never been. This vlog really makes me want to go!

[@smalls8012]

If you can try a trip when the fall colors peak! It’s a beautiful drive!

[@AbbyAdams94]

I’m in Lima Ohio and we have several Biggby coffee shops! We love it ❤️

[@juelclyne7392]

I just love ❤️ traveling with the Braun family

[@lorietysor115]

Diet Dr Pepper with added vanilla is my go to drink

[@kaylamazooo]

I stayed at the Pine Cottage Inn last time I visited! How cool!! I worked on Mackinac Island one summer when I was in college, so this is bringing back lots of memories ☺️

[@BrookemyCook]

Fellow Hoosier here we actually do have Biggby Coffee in Indiana! There is one is Plainfield, IN. 😊

[@ashplayssims]

Biggby is not only Michigan! We have one in Plainfield on the west side of Indianapolis! It’s so good.

[@katd1026]

That Airbnb is awesome. Food haul is too. Let us know how the coffee/beer was.

[@haleycrook7494]

If you guys have never explored Petoskey you NEED to!!

[@maryjojaggar9254]

There’s a Biggby in Plainfield, IN!💜

[@Allieh]

Omg! We can get the pop daddy pretzels here in Nova Scotia! Delish!

[@CarlaJo-s1u]

That sunset is so beautiful, when I lived in Kaw City we could see the lake out the front and in the back you could watch the deer come up ! It is so awesome!

[@kristiburis3924]

I’m from Muskegon! Welcome!!!

[@allysonjaneczek1347]

There's a Biggby coffee in Plainfield. I go there often :)

[@clairebaker1513]

There is a biggby in Pendleton IN after 30 min from you guys!

[@Mary46033]

There is a Bigby coffee in Pendleton, Indiana. ☺️

[@patriciateague8677]

Coffee for things you can change. Beer for things you can't. You find such cute places to stay. Any tips on how to pick an Airbnb? I get a little teary watching your new intro. You are so cute together and Tyler looks so young in some of the pictures. Feels like I'm watching my own children.

[@ashlynharding124]

This video made me so happy haha nice calming vibes and i loved the grocery haul at the end! Also editing this to add that I'm from the east coast and never really considered Michigan as somewhere I wanted to travel, but your vlogs have opened my eyes to how beautiful and cool it is!! I need to go now!

[@janelstacey2155]

I’m from Marquette Michigan! We are very North in the UP. Great local brewery only a hand full of blocks from our house!

[@heckman28]

I just love your families vlogs. We need friends like you all here!

[@katelynmeck7975]

Anyone know exactly where this little bnb is in Muskegon/ Norton Shores? It looks really nice! As a Michigander with a biased opinion, the sunsets of Lake Michigan or glorious 😍

[@Monica_M85]

The new theme song is a bop as the kids say! Haha! I love it and always listen to it all the way through. I loves y’all’s travel blogs so much! I’m going on an Alaskan cruise on the NCL Encore and have watched your Alaska cruise vlogs more than once in anticipation of my trip this September!

[@SamIAm11332]

Those flies would’ve sent me right back home. That’s way above my comfort level.

[@Lyndsay_bee]

Omg Muskegon!! We were just there. My family lives in Whitehall/Montague. About 20 minutes north.

[@jillianleigh27]

Oh my goodness you guys have got to go to Marquette! 💙 My parents, grandparents and more are from there and I grew up going every summer and we still go now. You guys would love it! So much history, food, wine, beer, shipwreck tours, outdoor activities. I could go on and on. All the nearby towns are great too (Munising, Negaunee, Ispheming, Big Bay…)

[@mandaleemilly6367]

My son is moving to Marquette in a couple of weeks! We live down near traverse city/Frankfort.

[@taylorwilliams9611]

We stayed at Mission Point Hotel and loved it!

[@emmasusan1997]

Looks like the stairs used to continue down to the beach and erosion took them away. Happens with those sandy walls on the great lakes :)

[@jancollier8653]

Beautiful Horses 🥰

[@ArianaMichele123]

Tyler - I know how much you love baking bread and I thought you might also like roasting coffee. My dad has been doing it since I was a little older than Gigi, and nothing is better than purely home roasted/ground/brewed coffee. Another thing to geek out over

[@kaleighlaurilynn]

Hi, Michigander here! Marquette is in the Upper Peninsula, aka the UP 😁 I’m so glad you guys love Michigan so much, and your videos make me want to explore it more! Also Biggby is Michigan based, but I know they have some in Ohio and possibly Indiana 😁

[@annamcdomo6909]

And WI!

[@kaleighlaurilynn]

@@annamcdomo6909 good to know!! I’ve never been to WI 😁

[@emmazawisza7024]

Houghton is better than Marquette (totally unbiased Husky). But UP >> LP.

[@kimberlystrempek3042]

Pop daddy pretzels are in Meijer in IL now !!

[@lisaanderson2900]

Not me pausing the video and adding items to my Meijer online order. =0) My beautiful Michigan. I'd like to see you guys cross the bridge to the Upper Peninsula!

[@gailmealworm456]

Thank you.

[@jessserrano3051]

Tyler talking about the drop off cracked me up 😂😂😂😂 “not sure what the plan was here…”

[@moniquecloud8714]

I say this as someone who grew up in Michigan, but if you love the brewery and coffee scene up there you would LOVE a trip to Minneapolis/St.Paul. SO many small local places that are all hits!

[@jessieeraee]

There are actually Biggby’s in IN. I live in Fort Wayne & we have 2 that I know of :). They’re also in OH.

[@chrissycosbitt2348]

Michigander here, from the sunrise side "Alpena"! Hopefully you have visited the Pink Pony while on the island. Awesome, whitefish dip appetizer! I hope you consider the east side of Michigan so that you can enjoy Lake Huron. Many beautiful places to see and enjoy while in Michigan. Enjoy your travel channel.

[@marykm85]

My family camps pretty frequently at a campground in Grand Haven, just south of Muskegon. It's about an hour and a half north of us. Such a cute area! There is a musical fountain and lights show every evening in Grand Haven during the summer. There are different themed shows, depending on when you go. We have seen a Disney themed show set to Disney songs, and one set to the soundtrack of The Greatest Showman. The kids love it. We are going up to Mackinac next week too!

[@prernashraff8937]

There is a Bigby opening up in Castleton. Just letting you know!

[@margaretreynolds8871]

Oh I love those pretzels! We have them here in West Texas, they are sooooo good!

[@kristenmckinney6706]

I live in South Bend and we have quite a few Bigbys by us! They are good :)

[@gidget_]

Wow the lake looks so pretty. I'd sit out there with my coffee every morning and evening.

[@mandaleemilly6367]

I haven’t been to Mackinac Island in years! We live between Traverse City and Frankfort and a lot of our family is in Muskegon. It was really cool seeing it through a visitors eyes! Glad you guys had a good time! ❤️

[@xmelissaruthx]

I’ve never stayed at the Grand, but Mission Point is where we always stayed when I was growing up! I do remember it feeling dated through the early and mid 2000s, but I think some of the accommodations have been updated over the years, the food is wonderful, and the history of the resort (just like anywhere on Mackinac) is very cool. Alright, end of PSA, I’m gonna go plan a trip because now I need it.

[@jomyers9523]

Try putting that mango salsa on salmon, awesome!

[@kerriann7466]

Yay! My town Muskegon! ❤️ Pigeon Hill is one of the best breweries/lounge we have in here Muskegon

[@zahraonokevbagbe2725]

It was really cool to hear your family history Jessica! Very cool!

[@Bebs28]

There’s a Bigby Coffee in Crown Point, IN

[@rachrenee07]

If you guys wanna stay close to Main Street on mackinaw island look up the mackinac house!!! It’s a renovated house and it is absolutely beautiful!!! We stay everytime we go to the island

[@Monkeyluva311]

The fact that you guys stayed in my hometown AND pronounced it correctly really made my day. 🤣 also, if you would’ve drove into the “downtown” of Muskegon, which judging from the lakefront you showed, you weren’t that far from Pigeon Hill at all. It’s times like this I wish it’s not internet creepy to say I wish I would’ve known, I would’ve sent you my husband as the Southwest Michigan microbeer connoisseur guide 🙄 But he likes his beers the color and thickness of motor oil 😵‍💫😬🤷🏻‍♀️

[@michaelajuarez]

I loooove your travel vlogs because it satisfies my travel bug for a little bit. You guys are so wonderful and it makes me so happy to see you 😅

[@gidget_]

I was on the highway going through the mess of those bugs. Every little bit we would have to stop and wash the windows. While we were at a gas station a man told us we might want to just go thru a car wash because they could mess up your engine getting piled in there. He was speaking from experience. Holy Molly I had no idea the damage those things could do. Luckly we finally made it thru the bugs like an hour later. It's just at a short time around this time of year and then there gone. Crazy.

[@dodgerkat]

You were so close to me! West Michigan has lots of hidden gems. Glad you had a good time. ❤

[@NiftyGurrl18]

Being on the other side of the "pond" (in Green Bay, WI lol) I've never been to lower MI or Mackinac Island before, but this travel vlog has inspired me to start looking into more trips closer to home. Had plans to go up to UP, which I've been many times, but canceled due to covid a couple years ago. We've been wanting to make the trip again but it hasn't happened yet. I think I'd love Mackinac Island. Who doesn't love a ferry? Washington Island is great too!

[@ericacuellar4606]

It's refreshing to see travel vlogs that show the hiccups that sometimes happen when traveling. Your mayfly locus commentary cracked me up.

[@joybird30]

the Michigan cherry coffee from Meijer is so good. Sometimes I get it when I'm home and bring it back to Texas with me.

[@toddwynn9582]

Main Street inn and suites is amazing for the price! In July,August. Been coming here for almost 45 years and we just stay there for a week now. Kids are older but still want to come. Thanks for the video

[@marissa4890]

Yes!!! I’ve been looking forward to your vlogs!

[@ashleynewbegin]

Love the video!! Have a great day 😊

[@laurenslaughter2440]

Those bugs are insane! 😳

[@Greg55bona]

The sunset was amazing

[@AMFibers]

Last time we were on Mackinac we stayed at the Pine Cottage Hotel! The people who run it are amazing. My boyfriend had a last minute zoom court appearance (we're attorneys) and they let him use a backroom. Just overall lovely people. Just a heads up, you don't get a private bathroom - you share with a few other rooms.

[@kylezer6083]

I saw you bought Blackrocks from Marquette and nearly died!!! I promise you and Jessica will have the times of your lives if you come to the Yooper Capital. YOU HAVE TO GO!!!!!

[@lisarhoades3559]

We do have Bigby in Indiana! I’m down in Greenwood and it’s in the Meijer parking lot. Hahahaha

[@rachelstafford602]

There are actually a few Biggby coffee in central Indiana. I think one opens up soon on 96th street in Indy.😊

[@pinky7400]

Why is the song such a bop

[@FullySubmerged]

The intro song is wildly catchy. I never skip it

[@knberning]

We have a Bigby Coffee in the parking lot of our meijer up here in for Fort Wayne! It may be making its way to Indy!
