Vacation Part 1: Michigan

we've finally returned!  and now I can share our adventures with you!  what fun!!

the first leg of our trip was in Michigan where we saw a few leaves change, went to a football game, and most importantly coveted some fresh apple cider straight from the mill. MMMMMMMM!

outside the mill they have delicious treats to take home.  we bought some cherry butter- sooo good!

 
more delicious vacation after the jump!!!

the mill is entirely powered by a creek that runs a turbine that cranks a lot of gears and wheels that eventually squashes hundreds of apples and spills out delicious cider- so clever!

 

 once the cider gets pressed it flows into a spigot that flows into a vessel that then flows into my cup.  Yum Yum!

Coming up next- vacation leg 2: gettin' crafty in Mexico!
