Ann Arbor

Last month we had the pleasure of traveling to Ann Arbor, Michigan to see our good friends Taylor and Anton get married.  These two are the cutest and their wedding was absolutely fabulous!  I've seen some really cool barn weddings on pinterest and Taylor and Anton did not disappoint!

Before the wedding we got to spend some time exploring Ann Arbor.  Chris was having a rough time being in University of Michigan territory.  (We root for the MSU Spartans of course)  For me it was refreshing to experience true fall in the midwest.  The cold crisp air was perfect for scarves and boots.  Something that had been for sure lacking in LA.  For our first meal we indulged in a mid west classic, White Castle.  Yes, we were paying for it the next day.  We followed up with barbecue from Blue Tractor BBQ.  This place was awesome!  Michigan has not disappointed when it comes to BBQ so I like to treat myself when I'm there!

I started the meal off with their beer flight.  Cheers!

 Next were some deep fried pickles.  This was my first time having these and... wow!  amazing!

 Since we had a big early Thanksgiving dinner later with Chris's family, we decided to share the BBQ chicken sandwich.  Sharing was a good idea but we kind of screwed ourselves with the fried pickles.  It was worth it.

The next day we followed it up with brunch at Zola's.  I opted for the turkish eggs.  Chris tried Moroccan coffee.  Personally not my taste but he really liked it.  Our waitress said the pattern of the beans at the bottom of the cup will tell your fortune.  Unfortunately Chris's was just sludge.
