Felt like winning the Willy Wonka Golden ticket, v Felt like winning the Willy Wonka Golden ticket, visiting H.E.Williams Candy Factory . We were able to watch the entire candy process from start to finish. This particular candy was their famous Peach flavor. Mr. Dave was so charming sharing his family stories while making this delicious candy.  And yes, I did get to eat a piece hot off the presses. #candymaking #sweettooth #traveltuesday #travelwritersuniversity #visitchesapeake #hiddengems #takemetothecandyshop #hosted

It is time for the Holland Tulip Fstival and it isn't in Europe, it is in Michigan. During the first two weeks in May it is peak blooming time, and you can see over 5 million tulips throughout the city. Have you been to the Tulip Festival? 
You can read all about the festival in the link in my bio.

After living in #Thailand for 4 months in 2019, I After living in #Thailand for 4 months in 2019, I have developed an affinity for #thaifood. One of my favorite dishes is Kao Soi. This Noodle dish was something I looked forward to on special occasions when friends came into town. You could not contain my smile when i saw this on the menu as i was photographing their food for a #grubhub assignment. The owner saw my joy and immediately went and asked the chef to make it for me.  Khob Khun Ka! After I finished their shoot, she sat down to chat about Thailand with me as I dug into heaven and a lot of great memories of my time in Thailand. Sukhothai of Dearborn is definitely a hidden gem for restaurants in Detroit.
