We stopped at Gobblers in Gaylord for our lunch.  We had yummy turkey dinners.

                   We were happy these three elk were so close

Me in front of the two big elk.  They don't let you feed them anymore like when our kids were young.

Bill and I were sure bundled up with all of our layers we had on

This is the honeymoon suite.   It is separate from the regular motel.  Below is our hot tub!

We got up and got ready for our fall color tour. I  wore 4 layers plus my jacket.  It was very windy and cool but I didn't get cold.  Bill did put my extra sweatshirt on so he could have a hood under his helmet.  We had yummy donuts and coffe at Cops and Donuts.  We left and finally saw a little color in Clare.  Not much the whole trip though.  We decided not to go to the tunnel of trees.  We went to Gobbler's in Gaylord for rheir turkey dinner.  It was delicious!  We went to see the elk afterwards and then rode to our hotel in Chenoygan .  When we checked in I found out we were in the honeymoon suite.  It was separate from the main hotel.  It had a big hot tub in it an was nice.  The motelbwascrightvon the river.  Beautiful to look at and walk around.   We visited by the pool for a while than the six of us played cards.  Vikki face timed me while we were playing and showed me the beautiful scarf she made me.  Sure wish I had it for this trip.  A big thank you!  Wes won the game.  After that we walked next door to Big Boy for something to eat. It was 8 pm. I had a slim Jim and cup of cabbage soup.  Yum!  We came back to our room and went in the hot tub. Fun day.
