It was Mother's Day - and perhaps more importantly, it was a major milestone birthday for Karen. (She doesn't look a day over 27.) She was absolutely clear about how we would celebrate: Dinner at the Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth. And we celebrated.
 |
| Karen, her BFF Deb and accordionist Linda Lee, decked out in a Bavarian dirndl, show the tradition. Lee played "Happy Birthday." Not all the kids could make it - Katherine and Andrew both were scheduled to work, and Robert had this little commitment to the Corps in Hawaii. After learning of this, Lee played the "Marines' Hymn." |
 |
| Matthew and Amanda drove up from Grand Rapids to join the celebration. |
 |
| Amanda hadn't had the Bavarian Inn's chicken dinner before, and she pronounced it delicious! |
 |
| The Bavarian Inn provided a special Bavarian chocolate mini-birthday cake. |
 |
| And Karen really loved the orange-and-vanilla swirl over cranberry ice cream. |
 |
| Even the gnomes in the Royal Gift Shop wished her a happy birthday and happy Mother's Day. |
