I have a visitor for the week and it’s CKM!

About a month ago, I asked CKM  what she was doing for her birthday and then I said, come see me in Michigan and she said yes! Well, yesterday was her birthday and she went out and got pampered with a massage, mani and pedi…and why shouldn’t she? She deserves it!

Today, she packed up her bags and got on a flight from Atlanta to Detroit to see me. The only bad part about this week is that I have to work every day she is here except Sunday, so Sunday will be a fabulous brunch and whatever she wants to do. There are a lot of great things happening around Ann Arbor this month, let alone this month.

She got in while I was at work, dropped her bags at the hotel, where everyone has been looking forward to meeting her because, of course, I have been talking about her coming to visit for a while, and headed out to walk downtown, do a little retail therapy and get a feel for this great town. She also went to Zingerman’s, think she was hungry when I picked her up? Not a chance!

When I was done with work, I picked her up, went back to the hotel, changed clothes and we headed out to Chelsea in search of entertainment and dessert. CKM is great about researching areas to visit and what to do, so of course, she knew that there would be live music in Chelsea on Thursday night. We got there, parked and walked in the direction of the music, which was everywhere!

There were lone musicians performing on one street, trios on another, the Celtic House Orchestra, which was made up of tie-dyed wearing teenagers playing different instruments, most predominant was the fiddle and got our toes tapping and our hands clapping.

We went in a few shops, found some treats for ourselves and others, went to Zou Zous where CKM got some yummy ice cream and I got some veggie soup, it was very tasty! While we sat outside we ate, laughed, caught up on each other, listened to some music, checked out the dogs and just took in the sights and sounds.

About 9, we had seen a lot and things were shutting down and it was time for us to head back to the hotel with a quick stop at Bob’s Big Boy for a photo op.

Here we are back at the hotel, just relaxing and enjoying each other’s company and in about five minutes, I’m going to pass out as I need to get up in a few hours. Have a great night!

I can’t wait to find out what adventure awaits us tomorrow!
