Gaylord Focker....I mean Gaylord, MI

Dad and I have settled down for the night in Gaylord, MI. It was about 60 degrees when we got here (now about 50) and I was freezing! I think my 2 weeks of Southern living has already made me go soft. I can only imagine what I will face when I go back to NY for Christmas! Anyways, when Dad and I checked into the local Holiday Inn, we asked the front desk rep for a good place to get dinner. She suggested a local restaurant called the Sugar Bowl. It was delicious! I highly recommend it to anyone who comes this way. It's been around for 80 years and it's easy to see why. I even talked (like I had to twist his arm) Dad into a Cosmopolitan. The waitress was making her dessert speech and came across Bailey's cheesecake in her list...while neither of us were looking for dessert, the mention of Bailey's did get Dad's attention so we both had some on the rocks (A dessert favorite among the Bartle family). We are stuffed but happy. Off to Mackinac Island tomorrow!
