Visiting Jim and Helen Montague in Clio, Michigan

Jim, Wade, Phil and Helen

This past weekend, Phil and I made a trip up to visit Jim and Helen Montague in Clio, Michigan. They are actually the parents of a friend of ours but we are so close to them and claim them as our own too! They both had birthdays this week and we wanted to visit them to help them celebrate.

We flew into Detroit and then rented a car for the drive to Clio. It is close to Flint and also Frankenmuth which is a great German town! It is known for being the home of Bronner's (World's largest Christmas store). We took Jim and Helen to Zehnder's for a great chicken dinner on Friday evening. On Saturday, Phil and I were able to visit Bronners and also walk around the nice shops in town. Close to Frankenmuth, there are Outlet stores and we were able to wander through them as well. That evening, we joined other family members and had a great meal at Lucky's.

Great weather, flights, food and laughter made the trip so much fun for us! We hope to be able to visit Jim and Helen again next summer! Happy Birthday Jim and Helen!
