Frankenmuth 2013

Second year making the trek to Frankenmuth to kick off the holiday season. After we checked in last night, and walked outside Annabelle says "it smells so good out here. It smells like hot dogs and princesses and pizza!"

Later, after we settled in we almost had a severed tongue. Fortunately, it ended up just being a few puncture wounds as a result of jumping off the bathroom counter. Yeah, I don't get it either. 

We have enjoyed the sausage and cheese and cold pool. It's a charming, kitschy place to come at this time. People are certain friendly and definitely in the Christmas spirit. 

Of course, the pinnacle of the whole trip is to see Santa. This time we saw him not once or twice, but 3 times! He visited us at breakfast at Oma's, then at Bronners  and finally at the Bavarian Inn dinner. He better have "the order" right by now.
