Do Not Disturb

This past Saturday, my boyfriend Jared and I traveled to Frankenmuth for a day trip. We left at about 10 am for the expressway. Our plan was to hit Bronners Christmas Wonderland first before visiting the busy downtown strip. It was one of those days I accidentally left my phone at home and was happy about it.

On our way down there, our MapQuest instructions were adequately helpful and easy to follow until at the end of our route the paper advised us that our destination was on the right when all that appeared was a warehouse without the slightest indication of a Bronners sign anywhere. We attempted to resume travel down the road. Sure enough, the next block contained the Christmas Wonderland. Upon entering the parking lot, Jared and I quickly realized that there was absolutely no parking spots to host us. We ended up parking across the street and walking. When we entered the establishment we were immediately overwhelmed with sights of Christmas, sounds of carols, and children screaming “Santa!” I still don’t know how much of the store we covered because it was so packed. We bought a few things then decided to move on.

We headed into town to Main Street and walked up and down the street to visit all the shops. We went through the gift shops at the Bavarian Inn. We also spent some time in an arcade and won some little prizes. It was a wonderful day that took the edge off.

Frankenmuth was quite the experience. It was a lot of fun being in a place that offers a different lifestyle. Everything there is decorated with a German style and it’s really beautiful. Point taken when feeling stressed, just take a day trip!
