I forgot the "off" setting

I've had this picture for a while, I just never shared it. So here it is.



And yes, Gia is celebrating.

Fainting Goats

Frankenmuth

Lorrie and I spent the day in Frankenmuth while on vacation at her parent's. I've talked about it before, and we looked forward to going back. We started with lunch at the Bavarian Inn. I once again tried some of their German specialties and beer while Lorrie had the Wunderbar Pretzel Sandwich.



We walked along the shops of the downtown area, touring the shops and checking out the sights. Being a history buff, I thought this was pretty cool.

The historical society there has created a series of pictures commemorating the town's history, surrounded by a flower garden. The pictures are "Coming To America", "Settling The Community", and "Remembering The Past." "Coming To America" highlights the journey of the Franconians. This is where the "Franken" part of the name comes from. "Settling The Community" shows the homesteaders clearing the forest and raising the first buildings. "Remembering The Past" shows the original buildings of many of the current tourist draws like Bronner's.

Speaking of Bronner's, we did go but the thrill of going to the largest Christmas store had worn off.

Vacation fun!
