New years eve in "Little Bavaria"

Kurt and I took a little 5 hour drve north to Frankenmuth, Michigan for New Year's weekend to have a little time to ourselves and try to relax. We enjoyed our stay at the Bavarian Lodge, ate at Oma's resturant, as well as the Frankenmuth Brewery and shopped at all of the cute little places along main street including the Frankenmuth Cheese Haus.

One of the most exciting things for me was to go to Bronner's Christmas store. It is a HUGE Christmas store that is open all year. My grandma had taken us there when I was six. It wasn't quite as exciting as I remember, but I did get Oscar a few new ornaments for his tree!

After a very exciting 4 days back in Virginia, I am happy to be home and sleeping in my own bed. I have tons of pictures that I will be uploading as soon as I find the energy!
On a funny note, the rental car company gave me one of these bad boys to drive:

And I liked it! At first I was mad becuase I didn't think I could fit my suitcase full of baby gifts (as mentioned here and here) but it worked out just fine and by the end of the weekend, my sister and her boyfriend were begging for a ride in my little car! The hardest part was trying to get up Katie's VERY steep, gravel driveway!!
