05/12: Happy Anniversary to Us
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
Hard to believe but Ed and I have been married for 27 years.
Today we walked around Frankenmuth and checked out a number of the shops. We especially liked the shops with the "paw print" on the door as it meant that Zaph and Caity were welcome.
One area has a number of shops that are made to look like an old village. Lots of nice stores in there.
Caity was happy to be taller than Zaph for once.
Zaph you can't scratch when you're sitting on a wall --- we don't want you to turn into humpty dumpty.
Zaph the sled dog ... Caity loved the idea of going for a ride.
Zaph decided that riding would be a lot more fun than pulling.
We were in a pet friendly book store when this bird chirped at Cait. She was very intrigued and even attempted to grab it. The woman working in the book store stood beside us and enjoyed the show. She even got the bird chirping again to keep Cait interested.
A river runs through Frankenmuth. In the summer you can go for a boat ride.
Cait, Carol, me and Zaphod on the covered bridge. Ed and John took several photos of the large beer steins we saw around town.
The downstairs in one of the famous chicken restaurants has some a gift shop and a bakery. Everything looked really good so it was hard to pick a snack. Ed and I split this amazing cherry strudel. John had a slice of black forest cake that was really, really good (he let us have a taste) and Carol had a blueberry pie cookie.
To celebrate our anniversary we went to one of the famous chicken restaurants and had (you guessed it) the home style chicken dinner. The dinner started with chicken soup made with homemade noodles, followed by four salads (pasta salad with chicken, coleslaw, bean salad and cranberry relish). The main course consisted of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, squash (yum), noodles, dressing and gravy. Dessert was a dish of ice cream. The food came to the table in bowls and if you finished the bowl you could request more. An interesting thing about Michigan is, if you order a bottle of wine and are unable to finish it you can take it home, which is what Carol and I did.
