City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

"It is pretty incredible to watch them work."

He says, holding onto her hips.

"They do have a way with making it. Takes like 20 minutes to fold and form."

He says watching still with her.

"Gotta get the Mackinac island fudge for sure."

"Yeah, gotta get some fudge."

He starts walking over with her to Murdick's Fudge.

"Carriage ride is the perfect idea and we can definitely swing a visit to them both."

He walks into the fudge shop just in time to see the cook preparing the fudge for the table. He and another person grabbing the gigantic copper pot pour it out onto the table.

"Ready to check out the fudge or you wanna watch this babe?"

"Perfect place for fudge and romance. Murdick's Fudge is the original fudge shop here, opened back in the 1800's. We can start in there and watch them make the fudge from scratch."

He says with a smile.

"Despite being 16.99 a pound, you will probably spend 50 bucks on it."

Licking his lips he laughs.

"But what should we do first?"

They drive down to the marina, soon after paying they are allowed to board the 3 deck ferry ship considered to be the greatest fresh water ferry available. Sitting down with her he holds her close and after 15 minutes of waiting and 45 minutes on the boat they arrive on the island. Exiting the boat they step from it and land on the dock looking out to the city which appears like a century old city, the smell of fudge and hand made food filling the streets. The clacking of horse hooves can be heard along with the roll of wooden wheels on cobblestone.

"Welcome to 1900."

He says with a chuckle.

"I know you would love it. 45 minute boat ride to the island, yes it is that far."

He smiles and kisses her cheek before breaking the hug.

"Shepler's Ferry is just down the street a short drive from here."

He takes several dozen pictures, some of the water and island some of the surrounding city and several of Ele. He smiles watching her enjoy the sights and sounds. Walking up to her he wraps his arms around her waist.

"So, what would you say to a ferry ride to the island and spend most the day there?"

He asks in a spur of the moment.

Post Your Pikcha

Keep it up. I lost 13 pounds recently myself but still have a ways to go.

Deciding to go into photographer mode Tyler pulls out his EOS Rebel. Selecting a wide angel lens he sticks it on and walks out to meet Ele. Standing next to her he says.

"May never be able to do this view the true justice it deserves but I damn well will try."

He turns his head to look at her with a smile.

"That land mass over there..."

He points out over the lake.

"That is Mackinac island, no internal combustion vehicles allowed there except during winter where the rule is lifted for snowmobiles. It is lost in time, it looks and feels like it would be 100 years ago."

He raises the camera and starts snapping pics of the lake and bridge.

"By the way, that water is about 40 degrees year round so be careful."
