Where Did The Christmas Mystery Trip Go?
The Christmas Mystery Trip went to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We had a great time sampling foods and seeing the area. We stayed at the Drury Inn in the downtown area and enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Mader’s followed by a drive by some of their Christmas Lights. The next day we visited many bakeries around the city and enjoyed their delicious treats. We visited an Italian/American Bakery, a Polish Bakery, a Mexican Bakery, a Jordanian Roastery, A Cupcake Bakery, and a Sicilian Bakery. We had lunch at the Public Market. We also toured Sprecher Brewery and sampled their offerings. Dinner that evening was at On The Clock and then we returned to our hotel. The third day we toured St Josaphat Basilica and also the Pabst Mansion which was decorated for Christmas with over 50 trees inside the beautiful home. Lunch was at Buck and Bradley’s, a historic building with a 75 foot long bar, before we said good bye to our guide and headed back to Michigan. Lots of delicious food, meeting new friends
and seeing new places made this year’s trip a lot of fun!

 

Poem shared on Christmas Mystery Trip (with thanks to Elaine Carriere)
As you hold these candies in your hand and turn them you will see,
The “M” can become a “W”, an “E” or a “3”.
They tell the Christmas story, it’s one I’m sure you know,
It took place in a stable a long, long time ago.
The “E” is for the East where the star shone so bright,
The “M” is for the manger where Baby Jesus slept that night.
The “3” is for the three wise men bearing gifts, with haste they came,
“W” is for worship, Angels sang praise to His name.
So, as you eat these candies or share them with a friend,
Remember the Spirit of Christmas and never let it end.
