February 1, 2014 - Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner... At the 'Muth!

My mom's side of the family love loves Frankenmuth.  I remember going there when we were younger here or there, and I vividly remember staying at the Bavarian Inn after my mom had a miscarriage.  My brother and I got to swim in 5 pools, play in an arcade, play mini golf, and don't even get me started on the chicken dinner.

At any rate, it's still one of my favorite places.  I love the feeling of being there - the scenic town, the music, the food, and all the little Germany that it is!  When my husband brought up wanting to go somewhere for the weekend, I was quick to suggest it, and so we did.

I had to run to Target for snacks for the ride.  And then I realized I was belting out a beloved tune from the '90s like nobody's business.  And then I snapped back to reality and said, out loud, "What the heck am I doing??

Our 1 hour 40 minute drive took about 3 1/2 hours, thanks in part to the fact we drove through a snowstorm.  Good idea.  But we arrived, and immediately hit the pool.


Oh shucks!  I didn't get a picture of me in a swimsuit.  Darn....

Hit the play area...






Took a shuttle across the bridge to go to the main restaurant.  The hotel was celebrating Chinese New Year and one of the restaurant's at the hotel had a big child activity.  Well, it included a dragon mascot, and one of the girls acted scared.


We had the always delicious "World Famous Chicken" for dinner, which comes with an obscene amount of food.  Brielle somehow managed to get her soup on her face.  Not surprising...

Last weekend was Winterfest, and the parking lot that has the bands and a patio in the summer had a bunch of these snow sculptures.  Very cool!


 Hit the arcade again.  And the pools too!  Despite the fact that she seems to be so accident prone, she also is half part lucky.
