Suggested Attractions in Michigan ?

We live in Georgia. We are taking my mother-in-law (86) in our camper to Holland, MI so she can visit relatives for a week the 2nd week of May. She will stay with her relatives when there. So wife and I are looking for attractions while we camp that week until we bring her back to Georgia.

So far we plan to spend a few days in Holland and enjoy the Tulip Festival. Any suggestions for the rest of the week, other cities, locations, sites, top 5 attractions while up in that area? We are not familiar with the area at all. Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance....

    Bonner's Christmas store is (I think is the largest open year round). They also design & sell decorations for commercial buildings.

    It's in Frankenmuth, and has many good German restaurants.

    Check out the wineries in Traverse Bay, if that's your thing. There are some in the area around Holland if you don't want to travel up to Traverse Bay.

    Arguably the best attraction in Michigan is the Henry Ford (aka Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village) outside of Detroit. It's definitely worth a couple of days if not longer.
