04/12: Frankenmuth here we come

Posted by: The Agnew Family
It's been a couple of months since we have been away and my feet were getting itchy so it was time to go on a trip, even a small one would do. We called up John and Carol (who live in Michigan) and asked if they wanted to meet us in Frankenmuth. As John and Carol are originally from the Detroit area they have to been to Frankenmuth many times but happily they were willing to meet us there. We chose the Drury Inn and Suites as they are a pet friendly hotel. The cost of the room includes a happy hour with three free drinks and a light meal plus a full breakfast. If we ever go back to Frankenmuth I would definitely stay at the Drury Inn.
An interesting kaleidoscope. You hold your camera (or your eye) up to the scope and the 2nd photo is what you see.
Frankenmuth is known as the Christmas town and in my opinion it lives up to it's name. The streets and shops are decorated and there are lots of Christmas lights.
Even the horse and carriage was decorated.
Bronner's Christmas Wonderland is unbelievable --- I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped when I walked into the store. For a couple of minutes I just stood still in awe as I tried to take everything in it. It's was pretty hard but I did manage to control myself and only purchased three ornaments (one of them a hummingbird that can be displayed all year) and a stand for displaying five ornaments.
I've seen Santa in different modes of transportation but this was a first for me.
The decorations continued to the outside of the store. Lights were displayed around the huge parking lot.
