Default Museum and Plant tour first trip

My wife and I are headed to the Museum the week of July 20. They have announced new plant tour dates. The plant tours have been shut down for a while. I want to see these cars getting built and see the Museum. I’m guessing some Museum deliveries will be happening for sure by then. Probably in the next couple weeks (mid June?) I assume. I will get to see some new Grand Sports on delivery row. Anyone recommend a good hotel close to the Museum?

If you get to do the plant tour that week, wave at mine when you go by it on the production line!

Should be easy to spot...it'll be the Admiral Blue one.

Kidding aside, I hope to get to do a plant tour when mine is ready for Museum Delivery as well. First time I got to go on a tour was in the C4 days when my parents surprised me with a trip to BG. Went back after I got my first Vette in the C6 days, but missed the C7 generation.

If you see mine say hi for me. When I was looking to do R8C I was planning to stay at the SpringHill or Fairfield nearby and using Marriott points.

I found a few hotels on Corvette Drive. Those are walking distance to the Museum. Looking forward to seeing the plant in operation.
