Traveling as a family

"We were sick of resorts and fancy hotels " That what my husband and I always mentioned after our horrible experience in Cabos San Lucas, Mexico in 2000.
One day my husband asked a contractor from Mexico which place in Mexico it worth to visit that we could interact with the locals but also enjoy the place.
The contractor said: "you should go to Michoacan, Morelia. My husband called me and said book the tickets to Morelia. OK I SAID having no idea where this place located on the map and what things to see there.....I booked the tickets for the 3 of us. Bader, I, and Emma. The time was Dec 22-31.
It was a straight 3hours and 40minutes flight to Morelia. The first thing we did is hopped on a taxi and asked to take us to a clean hotel. We ended up in hotel that was ok but not that clean. We were eager to find a better hotel once we get the sense of the city. The first thing you notice is it huge Catherdel and churches.
