Took my kids to Franklin Cider Mill, our favorite Cider Mill and we had freash warm donuts and cold apple cider. I have been to a lot of different cider mills, but Franklin has the best Donuts and cider I have ever tasted. So I bought enough to eat at home for the next few days.
Then we drove out to the newest mall in Michigan, Partridge Creek, in Clinton Township and I managed to find a good parking space. Partridge Creek is an “open air” mall and this was the grand opening weekend. Lots of people, so I’m glad we got there early. Its a very upscale mall with lots of beautiful people and a lot of unique stores (about 100). They had a lot of preformers out. Stages set up with singers and keyboard artists and an incredible violinist. I was surprised at all the people they hired that wore elaborate costumes. They have a 14 show theater, an outside fireplace, three fountains, including a pop up one the little kids were all playing with, and a dog comfort station. This is the only mall that I know of that encourages dogs – and people brought them! Everything, from a maltese to great danes. There must have been about 50 dogs that came with their owners. Or maybe the dogs brought their owners.
We walked around for a couple hours taking in all the great stores and looking at all the families and interesting people of all ages. Then we went to one of the five featured resturants, California Pizza Kitchen. We had Crab cake appetizers, Tortillia soup and Fettichini. Such a great lunch, we didn’t even have room for their dessert. We walked around for another hour and stopped in to Starbucks for a Frappachino and some excellent baked goods. Try their Bannana Nut Bread – YUMMMY. I got away lucky as my daughter only saw two outfits that she “REALLY REALLY HAD TO HAVE” . Then we went back home and I stopped off at the video store for some scarry movies because of the upcomming holiday.
We wached Beetlejuice and Ghostbusters, while eating Sushi and having Eddy’s Cookie and Cream Ice cream for desert. It was a wonderful day.
