Hooked up, ready to roll!
He's trying to tell me, MY LAP is the only place he wants to ride!
Bay City is now in sight!
We're here! This campgrounds is another CITY PARK, it really nice! Lots of shade, concrete pads, beautiful Grass! Otis is going to love that, plenty of new sniffs!
Nice site!!!
For our Labor Day dinner, Lennie is grilling up the turkey legs we bought at the Farmer's Market in Petoskey!
Yummy! Turns out 2 drumsticks was too many! We shared one!!!
Happy Labor Day!
Tuesday September 6, 2016-This morning after our coffee & oatmeal, instead of going for a walk...we go for a bike ride!
There are 2 paths at the campgrounds. This concrete path, which we thought would take us to the Bay?
But no....just to this turn around?
There's definitely something wrong with this picture!?!
I'm not sure what's "in season" out in these woods?
We came across a beautiful house out in these woods, apparently they don't want to be disturbed by hunters thus the NO SHOOTING sign!?!
Back at the park we prepare a picnic lunch. we don't really know where we're going....just a park!
Our picnic spot wasn't exactly a park, but a waterfront area with scattered picnic tables! It gave us a nice view while we had our lunch!
Heading back to the campgrounds, it was a hot one today....93 degrees! We have dinner & Otis is served but he doesn't eat? Maybe today's heat got to him? After the dishes are done, we take Otis for his nightly walk. Right away he wants to eat the grass.😕 Oh-Oh......he must be working on a stomach ache 😑 Sure enough only a few more steps before Otis Puked!😩 Poor little boy dog......The rest of the night Otis is just a lump of fur lying on the couch.......At bed time he didn't even eat his bed time treat??? I could hear his stomach pinging away.

Wednesday September 7, 2016- This morning Otis showed no interest in his breakfast, poor boy still has the punies. Our original plans for today was to pack a picnic lunch & take a ride to Lake Huron.But......because Otis doesn't feel good 😑 we let him rest up this morning! Eventually we decide to go for a ride. Otis actually wants to go with us.Our ride took us to lunch! the Old Town Drive-In! It was a cute little Drive Thru restaurant with car hops & they made their own root beer! It was gooooood!!!! I had a cheeseburger with fries, Lennie had coney dogs with onion rings. He got Otis a hot dog, but Otis said "No Thanks" I didn't take any pictures cause Otis was recuperating on my lap!
Lennie read about this Veteran's Plaza & since we were already out & close by we may as well look at it!
It was nice .
What doesn't show up in the pictures is the bricks with the names of loved ones who passed during the different wars.
We're going to head back to Finn Road Campgrounds now. Otis probably wants to rest!😏 when we got back to the RV, I put his hot dog down by his food bowl & he did go eat it! Maybe he's starting to feel better! Rest up Otis boy!

Thursday September 9, 2016- This morning Otis shows an interest in eating his breakfast, that's a good thing because today Lennie & I are going to Frankenmuth & Otis is staying home! Frankenmuth was founded in 1845 by a group of 15 German-Lutheran missionaries who came to the area to teach Christianity to the Chippewa Indians.Frankenmuth is Michigan's Little Bavaria. You can spend a day here or make a whole vacation of it. There's plenty to do in Frankenmuth from all kinds of shopping, carriage rides, boat rides, fishing, EATING, & let's not forget Christmas all year long!That's where we started our visit to Frankenmuth to Bronner's Christmas Wonderland, the World's Largest Christmas Store!
Not just ornaments, anything you needed to make your Christmas Merry & Bright was here inside of Bronner's Christmas Wonderland!
Funny how Lennie was ready to leave the Christmas shop before I was!?!
Our next stop is a late lunch, a short drive from the Christmas Shop we come to Zehnder's of Frankenmuth!
America's largest family restaurant with seating for over 1,500 guests!Zehnder's offers a full service menu of ALL YOU CAN EAT family-style chicken dinners, seafood,steaks, fresh baked goods, & European desserts!
Famous for their Chicken of course they'd have a Floral Chicken out front to greet everyone who enters!
After we ate, we went downstairs where they have a gift shop & a bakery!!!! We'll have to walk our lunch off & come back here later!!!
The famous "holz-brucke" or covered bridge is made entirely of wood! The only metal in it are the nails that hold down the shingles, siding, & floorboards. It was pulled across the Cass River over a 2 week period by a team of Oxen in January of 1980.
There's a calendar of events of what's happening in Frankenmuth. We happen to visit ONE DAY early for their big weekend Car Show & Craft Festival!!!! Just our luck!?! While we were walking around town we did see several Cool Old Cars coming into town!
We're ready to leave now....I think Otis called! But first....back to Zehnder's bakery!
We drive through the covered bridge, then hit the road!
Otis was really glad to see us, or was he just ready for a potty break!?!
We brought him some of our leftover chicken!
It was a real good day!
Tomorrow.....Good-bye to Michigan!
