Day Three: Trip Up North w/ "Dad"
Holy Mackerel - we got slammed with snow...and it wasn't stopping anytime soon. Good thing we brought the Pathfinder with us.
We began our day with a trip over to the Leelanau Coffee Roasting Company to warm up with some coffee and a cinnamon twist. Once served our coffee and cinnamon twist, we walked over to the dining area to sit down and have our breakfast. The place was filled with locals chatting and laughing away. We were obviously 'out-of-towners'. The guy that you would least expect to stand up and offer his table to us...in fact...stood up and offered his table...what a guy...After breakfast we supplied ourselves with bags of coffee ammunition to bring back to Cincinnati for all to enjoy.
After breakfast, we headed back to the lot to figure out what we would do about lighting fixtures in the kitchen and downstairs hallway. We wanted to get the scale of the lighting fixtures anyways...to make sure they 'fit' with the proportion of the ceiling. We found ourselves about 45 minutes later (not realizing the time that had passed)...walking through the house and 'visualizing' how the interior would turn out - this was definitely the favorite part of the trip...
We decided to go to Home Depot vs. Lowe's, hoping that they would have a better selection. They definitely did...as we came out with all three of the lighting fixtures for the kitchen and the light above the kitchen sink. Had lunch at Burger King and had the The Angus Bacon and Cheese Steak Burger. You know the commercial...the one with Hooty....yeah it's Hooty....without his Blowfish - he must be pretty desperate to be singing a cheesy song about a hamburger.
We went back to the house, but deemed that the lighting fixtures picked out for the kitchen ceiling were too small. We decided to trek back to Home Depot and get the larger size. Back to the lot we went and there was no doubt in our minds that not only were the fixtures perfect for the space, but glad we went back to get the larger size...good sense of accomplishment.
We then went over to Good Harbor Vineyards to get a few bottles of wine for one of Nancy's friends at work. We were their only customers the entire day!!
The snow still kept dropping and made traveling a bit cumbersome and time consuming. We decided to have dinner at the Roman Wheel. A pizzeria in downtown Suttons Bay and a place that both of us have never tried. I have to admit the pizza was pretty good - back to the Whaleback Inn...
