Alas, Vernor’s was bought out by some standard soft drink company, and at least the last time I had it was no longer aggressively gingery.

I second Cranbrook and the DIA. My husband grew up in Bloomfield Township, and we used to go there annually, but it has been awhile. They were not sophisticated diners, so I can’t offer anything useful there.

Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum are interesting, although I gather the former isn’t open at this time of year.

Personally, I think a tour of the Rouge plant would be fascinating, as would the Motown Museum. I’ve never been to either.

As Mainer, I doubt you will find it too cold. Your Texan parents on the other hand…
