For Father's Day I asked my husband if he wanted to do anything special.
As always, I got his sweet response, "We'll do what ever makes you happy."
Me? It's your special day.
He responded, "It makes me happy when you are happy."
Sweet!
So I made it easier for him, a choice of ... BBQ at the house
or we go out and have a fun day somewhere close
to recharge.

So my loving husband opted to have a day trip.
In 2009,
we visited this little town about an hour away from where we live,
called Frankenmuth.

We fell in love with this quaint town.
So here we are again enjoying another beautiful sunny day.

Frankenmuth is the Little Bavaria of Michigan.
Rich in beauty and culture.
A perfect place to retreat, recharge, renew and refresh from the busy city life.
You can take your family on a horse-drawn carriage and tour this small town beauty.
Stroll and walk across the covered bridges.
It is similar to Solvang in California.
But there are 3 things you won't find in Solvang that you can only experience in Frankenmuth,
with their delicious world famous chicken dinners.
Yum!
Moist in the inside, crunchy in the outside but not oily.
And to add to all that yumminess, both places have hotels where you can stay with your family and enjoy a day with your kids splashing around their indoor waterpark.
Frankenmuth is also the home of the Food Network's Cupcake Wars
winner SUGAR HIGH.
The first time we tasted their cupcakes,
I knew it was sure a winner.
I especially love the Cherry Cheesecake cupcake.
Cheesecake and Cupcake all in one will always be a winner in my book!
And last but not the least,
this is where you can find
Bronner's Christmas Wonderland,
the biggest Christmas Store open all year round.

A size of one and a half football fields with over 50,000 trims and gifts.
You can find Christmas decorations here from all over the world.

I even found some from the Philippines.
If you love taking photos, Frankenmuth is definitely the place where you'll have most fun taking stills
of the simple joys of life.
