Tacky to Tasteful!

We said goodbye to Santa Claus as we left Frankenmuth - he was sitting outside the Christmas Store, Bronners. I was going to go in and find something for the new grandbaby, Anouska, (with her name on it) but I could hear my daughters saying "tacky, Mom, tacky" so I passed it up!! We encountered stop and go traffic through a construction zone for 1 hour. In the Westie you get to put that time in differently than in a car - I made Rip a "cheese and cracker" lunch; I tightened a button on my capri pants, and then I had a nap! We arrived to rush hour traffic in Chicago and were every so glad to book into our B&B called "Two Urns" for two nights! Nothing tacky about this spot, but it takes four locks doors and gates to get into our room - a little different from home. Also the parking is very tight; just let me say that our Westie kissed the trim on the garage door, and Rips only comment was "I am glad I did this and not you". Enough said!! We wandered down the café-filled street close by and found a rocking place for salad and chicken called "Smoke Daddy". It was smoking in there with people, music and delicious food! Glad to be staying put for 2 days and not driving in this city.
