Yesterday we went out to a little beach town about an hour away from where we live.
It is on Lake Huron. The winds off of the lake yesterday were strong and cold. That is typical. It wasn't really cold until we went down to the boardwalk along the beach.
The Christmas market was alot of fun. They had some little out buildings, each with a different theme and then the main store was jam packed with decor as well as shoppers. I found several pieces that I brought home.
There was a Country Market store next door that we visited as well. A local orchard orchard had some baked goods on the shelves. My husband spied some apple fritters. These things are super huge, we got a box of 4.
After a drive along the beach, we realized that we were both hungry. It being a seasonal type of town, they do not have alot of restaurants that remain open all year around. We looked for the little diner that we liked to go to on the edge of town, but it was closed. We found ourselves eating at the LakeHound. We haven't been there since the weekend our son and his wife told us that they were expecting. It brought back some nice memories.

Sounds like it was a nice outing anyway. My fave Christmas craft show is coming up next weekend. Unless I get a really early start I won't be able to go to it as friend will be here and we are going to the mountains. If it is warm I might think about going there before he comes.

The best part of this Christmas market, the owners used to have a dollar type of store.
They loved the fall because they always looked forward to the new Christmas items.
They know which suppliers offer the best products for the best price.
I can honestly say that nothing was over-priced at all, that was such a nice change.
Too bad they don't own a grocery store, a gas station, a ladies clothing store.....oh I could go on and on.

@snowy22315 And if they made it a mobile store that could go to your hood as well as mine would be even sweeter!

That sounds like a lot of fun. The LakeHound, huh? Sounds interesting. What kind of food do they serve?

It sounds like you had a good time at the little beach town and I would have loved going there and enjoying the country market and all the things you can find that aren't common.
