A Really Late Visitors Part 2

Better late than never!  Right?  Well here's the rest of the trip……

Saturday we headed up to a little town called Frankenmuth.  This is a German based town so of course we had to go up there.  First we went to Bronners, which is apparently the largest Christmas store (or so they stay).  I'll admit though it was huge and a bit overwhelming.

 After spending a good amount of time in the store we headed over to the shops.  We first had to get food, which took us forever to decide on where we were going to eat haha.  Luckily we ended up with deliciousness ;)  I think it's safe to say that a favorite part of the shops was watching fudge be made & of course eating it too.  Ah man I could go for some of that delicious rich goodness right about now.  Long day made short, we wandered through a lot of stores add mainly enjoyed each others company while making our feet tired.

Sunday we went to church and it was a miracle that we made it on time because church started at 9 am and we hadn't been getting going that early all week.  Well, after church and Chases meetings we went to Stoney Creek so that Chase could take Carissa's senior pictures.  He may not want to take pictures these days but it's a good thing he agreed because he's truly wonderful at it.

And of course with a camera out Kathy and I ended up with our pictures taken as well ;)

With Monday being the last day we made sure to hit up all of the last spots.  First we went to the cider mill for apple juice and donuts.  The bees were driving us crazy so we made it quick.

 Afterwards we did a drive by past Chase's work so that the fam could see where he works.  We couldn't go in so we all settled for a drive by :)  Then it was back to the apartment to pack so we could head to the airport after our next couple of stops which included sight seeing at the Detroit Temple and then lunch.

Chase and I had to make sure that we stopped at Vinsetta Garage for lunch since they have the best burgers and the restaurant is an old garage shop so the place is just all around awesome (even though it's super loud when it's full of people).

Yes we had to take a picture of the penny floor! 

 After lunch we had some time to burn so Chase decided that we would drive down towards 8 mile to find a neighborhood that's supposed to be nice.  Haha well we ended up getting scared looking for this neighborhood and turning around as fast as we could.

After dropping them off it was nice to be just Chase and I again, but shortly after we missed having our family around.  We loved getting to show them our home and most of all enjoyed their company!  Can't wait for our next visitors ;) hint, hint.
