Today all of us went to Frankenmuth, Michigan. It is in Saginaw County.
I have always thought that "Frankenmuth" was an interesting name. Mom and I searched the Internet and came up with this handy blurb:
"The German word "Franken" represents the Province of Franconia in the Kingdom of Bavaria, and the German word "Mut" means courage, thus the city name Frankenmuth means "courage of the Franconians"."

Frankenmuth was very fun. We got there about 10:30 or so, and went to Bronners,
"the World's Largest Christmas Store". Bronners is fun. Grandpa got me some postcards.
Then we went to Zehnders, a restaurant in Frankenmuth.
There we met and ate with a great-uncle and two great-aunts of mine. It was fun.
After lunch, Grandpa, I, and "Uncle Steve" went to Rau's Country Store.
Rau's Country Store is a really neat store. Grandpa offered to buy me a something, and after much debating I chose a "Route 66" sign.
Then we parted ways with my relatives and we headed home to Grandpa and Grandma's. It was a very fun day going to Frankenmuth and I hope we can go there again in future trips.
