I just returned from a 10 day visit to Michigan to see my sister Carma. She lives in the southwest corner of Michigan so I flew into and out of the South Bend, Indiana, airport. I was so excited to see her and spend time together. We are 7 years apart in age so she was just 9 years old when I left for college. Since I married young, this was the first time as adults that we've had a chance to get together and have fun without having to watch our kids at the same time. It was wonderful!
After I arrived at 8:30 a.m. on October 10th, we went to the South Bend Chocolate Company to sample candy and buy some too! It was so good and I enjoyed it so much that I didn't get a picture for my blog! Oh, well - next time!
After that, we went to Nappanee for a tour. It is an Amish town. The picture above and the one below were taken there. It was beautiful. I got some sassafras tea (herbal) which reminded me of the tea we drank growing up. During the tour we saw lots of things that reminded us of the house and farm where we grew up. It was quite interesting.
For lunch, we went to Niles, Michigan. Niles is the city of 4 flags with flags from Europe flying near the river. We had a fabulous lunch at the Paris Cafe. Lunch came in these lunch boxes! It was so fun - delicious sandwiches and chips! We had delicious homemade root beer and Sherman's ice cream for dessert.
After lunch we went to a Botanical Garden for some exercise. It was so relaxing. It was in the Buchanan, Michigan, area. The picture above and the two below were taken there. I think we walked more than 3 miles at this location.
The weather was perfect for my visit. Although it didn't rain, the clouds were just beautiful and the trees with the leaves turning colors also. I really enjoyed our drives with such beautiful scenery.
I was so excited to be in Michigan and see the sights! It was great!
