A week ago today was my 44th birthday. And, as tradition would have it, my sister and I spent the day exploring parts of Michigan, laughing and snapping pictures.
I thought I'd share the wonderful adventure she executed. It was fabulous! I had the hardest time narrowing down the pictures to share with you.

| I love the Dog House |
Then we headed North. Lunch at Max & Erma's near Oakland University and then onto the house tour at Meadowbrook.
 |
| Then off to Meadowbrook for the house tour! |
 |
| Meadowbrook - fabulous house and fascinating history |
 |
| VERY bright (and cold) day - hard to take good pictures |

After Meadowbrook, we cruised North down very snowy roads. It's "horse country" past Oxford, into Metamora, and on to LaPeer. In addition, as we rounded the corner we came across a group of wild turkeys!

Our final stop was Frankenmuth. Lovely at night, streets lined with snow. Being so cold and a little late, there were only four other parties in the main dining room at Zehnder's. We need to bring the family back in the Spring.

| Not the best picture but we were tired, hungry, and very happy. |

It was a glorious day. We decided, in addition to our birthdays (in cold November and March) that this year we'd take an adventure on our Un-birthdays (July 12th) and enjoy an adventure in the warmth! Grand Rapids this year!
