Michigan Trip--days 4 & 5 (Noel Restaurant and Headed Home)

After leaving Castle Farms we traveled to Grandville where we spent the night. Dinner was at the NOEL Restaurant, which had previously been a Baptist Church..

Everyone enjoyed the meal, and we returned to the Holiday Inn Express for a good night's rest. The next morning we began the last leg of the journey and headed for home.

                   






 





We wanted to show our appreciation for all the work Carol had done in planning a "fabulous" trip.

Lois Smith was in charge of selecting an appropriate gift. She looked long and hard to find just the right pair of earrings for Carol. As you can see, she loved them!     

Actually the earrings were a joke, and we also presented her with some extra spending money. Thanks you again, Carol, for all your work.

The bus driver didn't waste any time, and pretty soon we said goodbye to a few people in Matteson and another group in Champaign. Lunch was at  Za's in Champaign, and then we were in Effingham. The last stop was Mt. Vernon.

                                                                 

Here is the photo of the group again--in the parlor at the Grand Hotel. Everyone seemed to have a great time!  We are now looking forward to the next trip.
