Off to Luddington on Lake Michigan. It was a nice drive and the town is very cute. As we drove down the main street there were Petunias all along the curb stones. It was very picturesque as you drove in. We drove through town and parked at the town park along the waterfront. There is a 1/2 mile pier you can walk down to a lighthouse. We did the walk and watched people fishing off the pier for a while. Naturally after the walk we were hungry!
On Main Street was the Old Hamlin restaurant. This has been family run since 1926. A lot of times when we travel we like to eat in little historic places and eat the local “fare”. Michigan is “cherry” country so Sandi decided to have a Premelian Hamburger for lunch. It’s ground beef and cherries mixed together. It was good! Didn’t taste too much different than a regular burger.
Walking back to the car we passed another little shop called Kilwin’s Chocolate & Ice Cream Parlor. Believe it or not we didn’t go in, but we peeked in the window. This was just like an old fashion ice cream parlor with the candy counter in the front. (Too bad we had just had lunch..) Along the walls of the buildings on Main St were murals of the old west. We walked around and looked at some of these. They were really intersting. The town is full of fantastic Victorian homes/B&B’s. The porches look so comfy unfortunately we didn't have time for a nap!
We got back and it was really hot and humid so we decided to go to the pool. We had it all to ourselves. It was great just floating around on the “noodles”. Had dinner and hung out. This was a great place but we are ready to move on tomorrow
